Fishkin Lucks secured complete dismissal of claims asserted against its client, a privately-held energy company, by its former Chief Executive Officer concerning post-termination obligations allegedly required by his employment agreement. The claims, brought in arbitration before a three-member panel of the American Arbitration Association, concerned the former executive’s contractual right to post-employment insurance coverage. Following extensive fact and expert discovery, both sides filed motions for summary disposition. After oral argument, the arbitration panel issued an order adopting the Firm’s arguments and finding that the Firm's client had satisfied its contractual obligations to the claimant.
