The firm served as lead counsel on behalf of Miller Industries and its subsidiary, Road One, in litigation seeking recovery of attorneys fees and costs incurred in defending and settling numerous underlying cases, filed in Florida, Tennessee and elsewhere. The plaintiffs had alleged a variety of employment-related claims, including breach of employment contracts and tort claims brought by the former owner of a towing company that our client had acquired. The insurance carriers either denied coverage or refused to contribute the full amounts necessary to settle the underlying claims and reimburse all defense costs incurred. We filed a lawsuit alleging various insurance claims, including the contention that the carrier’s "outside counsel guidelines" unduly restricted the discretion of independent defense counsel in violation of Tennessee ethics rules. The claims were promptly resolved during an early mediation.
