Case Study 1

To augment a public company’s defense during a proxy contest, QRI found evidence that an activist shareholder’s proposed directors were not fit to serve on a board. We obtained European corporate records and financial statements showing that one of the nominees had not disclosed that his family-owned retail business was insolvent. Another nominee had failed to disclose she had been sanctioned by FINRA and had an interest in an LLC with another “independent” nominee. 

Case Study 2

After a patent asserting entity sued our client, a technology firm, our investigation proved the plaintiff was likely a troll. We gathered evidence that the company’s office was temporary and staffed by a skeleton crew of part-time employees. In addition, we found buried in archived court records a deposition in which a former executive admitted his core strategy was to initiate baseless infringement litigation.
