Employment Litigation Settlement Awarded to Wronged University President

Overseas employment case settled by California civil trial law firm.
 

In a compelling L.A. employment litigation case, Ball & Roberts have announced a victory for their client, the president of an American overseas university. In 2007 the university president asked Ball & Roberts to travel overseas to help him with civil and criminal proceedings that followed the abrupt closure of his campus.

Although the university president had requested the assistance of other law firms, he was told they could not help, citing the complex nature of the problem, the involvement of foreign government entities and novel issues of L.A. employment litigation and employment law.

Despite these complexities, in 2009 Ball and Roberts were able in a case with many novel legal issues to successfully appeal adverse lower court rulings and negotiate a settlement with the parent campus which allowed for the funding of the financial obligations of the president and his staff.

According to lead counsel Stephen C. Ball, "This settlement was an especially gratifying solution to a very complex problem involving many parties. Ultimately you want to make sure that employees are protected for the actions they take on behalf of their employers."
The L.A. employment litigation specialists have successfully represented a wide variety of clients in trials and settlements, including a Farmers Insurance adjuster who was fired for reporting his company's unfair handling of insurance claims by earthquake victims, a Farmers Insurance mold manager who was sued for reporting corporate corruption and a cardiologist who faced retaliatory termination after filing a complaint about transplant procedures at the hospital where he was employed.

The firm has undertaken several actions involving legal matters that have involved foreign clients or United States citizens injured overseas.

A civil trial law firm, Ball & Roberts represent consumers and businesses throughout California and Utah, Nevada, Arizona, the United States Federal Courts and the United States Claims Court. Combining their extensive trial experience, focus on legitimate, realistic claims, and deep understanding of the complexities associated with each case, gives them an uncommon ability to deliver the best possible outcome for each and every client.
