WHD Successfully defends<br />
seven-figure insurance claim<br />
in the seventh circuit<br />
In Protective Life Ins. Co. v. B&K Enterprizes, LLC, et. al., WHD represented<br />
B&K in a contested dispute over the proceeds of a seven-figure insurance<br />
claim. Among others, the case raised novel questions of contract<br />
interpretation and reformation law, application of Limited Liability Company<br />
(LLC) law, creditors’ rights during and after an LLC ceased doing business,<br />
and the rights of a receiver under Wisconsin Statute Ch. 128. After<br />
successfully convincing the district court to rule in B&K’s favor on crossmotions<br />
for summary judgment, WHD successfully convinced the Seventh<br />
Circuit Court of Appeals that B&K was the sole party entitled to the sevenfigure<br />
insurance proceeds.<br />
