TRIAL ADVOCATE
John Paddock

COURT
Boulder County District Court

CASE TYPE
Medical Partner Dispute

CLIENT
Medical Partnership

ISSUES - After resigning, a partner in a medical practice claimed he was owed significant funds based on his interest in the practice and real property it owned. John helped the practice and the disgruntled partner reach a settlement of all of his claims. When he realized the practice still had claims against him for the damages he caused by concealing important information from his partners, he tried to back-out of the settlement and re-start the 18 claims he had asserted. In December 2009, the trial court granted summary judgment for the practice, dismissed all the former partner’s claims and ordered him to return his shares to the practice.

John Paddock has helped a wide variety of clients respond to numerous issues employers can face from time to time. He has successfully represented several practices and businesses in responding to demands by former employees who complained they were fired illegally or were owed wages or overtime, as well as by independent contractors who claimed they were really employees. John has represented many clients in defeating former employees’ formal discrimination charges and unemployment claims. He also helps practices respond to difficulties with partners or shareholders and lawsuits by former partners or shareholders.
