Law Offices of

Gwen V. Carroll Ltd.

CHANGE-OF-CORPORATE-CONTROL BREACHES OF CONTRACT:  EXECUTIVES

GVC Ltd. has successfully represented numerous executives in breach-of-contract actions/demands following corporate change-of-control events, with some  also involving attending tort claims.  Every executive client seeking our assistance in a change-of-control dispute has obtained relief that either met or exceeded his/her expectations.  In most cases, lengthy and costly litigation was avoided due to our thorough development of the facts, exposition of the law, and presentation of demand to the successor company  prior to filing suit.  

COMMERCIAL COMMISSION DISPUTES: COMPANIES

We have averted numerous independent sales representatives’ threatened actions for large commissions owing into perpetuity by immediately calculating and paying accurate commissions owing, if any, and deterring zealous counsel from pursuing unsupportable bigger cases with a candid discussion of facts and applicable case law.  

DEFAMATION: EXECUTIVE  

Within three weeks of her first demand served on the offending company, Gwen obtained a confidential damages’ payment and cease-and-desist agreement for an executive client defamed by a corporate superior,  satisfying her client and obviating the need for further publication of the libelous material in a public forum.   

COMMERCIAL COMMISSION DISPUTES: INDEPENDENT SALES REPRESENTATIVES

GVC Ltd. has obtained numerous fast settlements of post-contract-termination commissions owing on behalf of independent sales representatives using methods of early case appraisal, accurate commissions-owing calculations, thorough exposition of applicable law, and tenacious pursuit of speedy payment.
