WHD successfully defended its client, a fund investor, in federal court from<br />
fraudulent transfer and unjust enrichment claims seeking recovery of seven<br />
figures worth of payments received before one of the largest investment<br />
fund failures in Wisconsin history. The complaint was drafted by a Chicago<br />
firm, and had the Securities and Exchange Commission’s backing. WHD<br />
convinced the court to dismiss the complaint before discovery opened,<br />
obtaining judgment in the client’s favor on a motion to dismiss, and on a<br />
subsequent motion for reconsideration.<br />
