Results
Lockaway Storage v. County of Alameda
Timothy Kassouni successfully argued at trial on behalf of Lockaway Storage against the County of Alameda and its building and planning departments. The court found the County of Alameda liable for a takings claim of inverse condemnation. The County of Alameda had acted arbitrarily in the denial of building permits for construction of the storage facility. Final ruling on compensation to Lockaway is pending, and is expected to be over $1.2 million.
Orthalliance litigation
Invalidated a non-competition covenant which illegally restricted the free trade of orthodontists. This was the catalyst for a multi-million settlement nationwide.
Beverly Towers Inc. v. City of West Hollywood
Appeared before the California Supreme Court in oral argument and amicus curiae briefing. The ruling precluded local governments from enforcing condominium conversion regulations after discretionary approvals had already been granted, preserving the private property rights of Beverly Towers Inc.
