Crowe Dunlevy Secures Jury Verdict in Closely Held Business Ownership Trial

Crowe Dunlevy successfully represented the prevailing party in a high-stakes jury trial involving competing ownership claims to a plastics manufacturing company based in Yukon, Oklahoma. The dispute centered on whether an aunt or her niece held the rightful ownership interest in the business, making the case effectively a winner-take-all contest for control of the company. The matter presented significant evidentiary challenges, including the unavailability of several key witnesses due to their deaths prior to trial. Following a three-day jury trial, the jury returned a verdict in favor of the Firm’s client, resolving the ownership dispute and securing control of the business. The result provided certainty regarding the company’s ownership and protected the client’s interests in a closely held manufacturing enterprise.
