CEO Suzanne Halbardier Obtains Dismissal on Behalf of BMM Client in Asbestos Case.

After a contentious discovery dispute, the firm was successful in obtaining a dismissal on behalf of a client.  The client never used asbestos as a component part in their product, but had no records from the 1970’s and 1980’s still in existence.  As New York asbestos litigation requires a defendant to establish its entitlement to summary judgment, CEO Suzanne Halbardier worked with associates Alex Fagone and Kayla Griffin to locate records from 40 years ago from numerous sources and developed a strong motion for summary judgment.  Although our client was ordered to answer discovery and provide a further affidavit, ultimately plaintiff’s counsel conceded that our client had not included asbestos as a component part.  Counsel agreed to a dismissal.  It was through the hard work of the BMM team to locate and develop the arguments in order to secure the great result.
