Secured Dismissal of Charges against Manufacturing Client 

Represented Defendant, Whelen Engineering Company, manufacturer of audio and visual warning equipment and one of the largest employers in southern CT, in superior court action filed by a former executive alleging breach of contract, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and violation of the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act. Most recently, Shipman prevailed after a multi-day evidentiary hearing in the dismissal of Plaintiff's Motion for Disqualification, in which the presiding judge categorized the plaintiff's claims as "entirely meritless" and refused to restrict Shipman's continued representation of its long-standing client, Whelen. After oral argument by Glenn Cunningham, the Court dismissed all counts against Whelen with the sole exception of the breach of contract claim. The case was subsequently resolved through a formal mediation process.
