Baker Marquart [Waymaker] Wraps Negligence Claim for Cannabis Client; Scores Favorable Settlement

One of the firm’s cannabis clients was harmed by a service provider’s negligence. To make matters worse, the client faced a substantial, six-figure bill related to those services. The firm commenced arbitration pursuant to the parties’ agreement.

A year into arbitration, during which year the client received several demands for payment of all or some of the outstanding invoice, the parties mediated and settled. Pursuant to the settlement, the firm’s client owed nothing; instead, the service provider paid a six-figure settlement, allowing the client to refocus on its growing business.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Baker Marquart [Waymaker] attorneys remain focused on creatively achieving client objectives. Partner Ryan Baker and associate Sam Meehan handled this matter.
