I represented in that case a very interesting fellow who ran high-power motorsport teams. And this case involved the X Games snocross team, the snowmobile team for a large snowmobile manufacturer. And so there was a contract between my client and his team to provide at all of the different snocross and X Games the snowmobile racing in the games, and so they had some of the great talent in snowmobile racing on this team. And they would travel throughout the country. A breach of contract occurred. We litigated the case against one of the largest law firms in town. We were a week away from trial when we settled the case. It actually wouldn’t have settled but for the fact that we insisted to have the CEO of this large snowmobile manufacturer down involved in the mediation that occurred just a week before trial. He did not want to come. The judge ordered it. And that caused the case, we believe, to be resolved favorably for our client.

Minneapolis, MN employment law attorney Andrew Parker discusses a memorable breach of contract case. He shares that he represented a client who managed high-performance motorsport teams, including the X Games snocross team sponsored by a major snowmobile manufacturer. The client had a contract to provide top-tier snowmobile racing teams at various snocross events and the X Games, featuring some of the most talented riders in the sport, traveling nationwide to compete.
A breach of contract arose, and he litigated the matter against one of the largest law firms in the region. The case was set for trial, but a week before proceedings, it reached a settlement. The resolution was largely attributed to his insistence that the CEO of the snowmobile manufacturer participate in the mediation—a request initially resisted but ultimately ordered by the judge. This involvement was pivotal in achieving a favorable outcome for his client.
