Several months ago, shortly before a personal injury trial was set to begin in the Circuit Court of the City of St. Louis, one of our firm’s clients retained Appellate Team Leader Tim Sansone to attend the trial and work with trial defense counsel to preserve important issues for any future appeal.
Recently, our Business Litigation Practice Group asked for our Appellate Team’s assistance on a complicated appeal after our client won a summary judgment. The issues included a question of first impression regarding the interpretation of Missouri’s unitrust statute in connection with a trust that predated the statute’s existence. The case also involved issues regarding the admissibility of an affidavit, supporting exhibits, and an award of attorneys’ fees.
