JASON LANDESS & ASSOCIATES

I was appointed by the Nevada Attorney General to institute a quo warranto proceeding for the State of Nevada against the City of Las Vegas (“City”) to challenge the legality of a property-development joint venture agreement between the City and a large California developer. Shortly after I filed suit against the City, a District Court Judge denied the City’s motion challenging my appointment. Thereafter, the City rescinded its agreement with the California developer.

That outcome preserved the fair market value of the subject property and thousands of acres surrounding it.

Represented a Las Vegas developer who built a mobile home park and sold it to a Wall Street investment fund for $8MM. The investment fund filed suit seeking recission of the sales contract.

After a two-week jury trial, my client prevailed and was awarded attorney’s fees.

Represented a young man who was stabbed in the parking lot of a franchisee’s convenience store that previously had similar problems in the same parking lot and failed to implement added security measures.

My client sued the franchisee and the franchisor (a national oil company) for premises liability. During the middle of a jury trial, the case settled for $1.7MM.

Represented a medical device company in hostile-takeover litigation. The jury trial lasted 2.5 months. There were over fifty pre-trial motions. The jury awarded my client $16 MM, plus punitive damages.

The case was settled right before the supplemental proceedings for awarding punitive damages.

Represented a company in obtaining a $5MM lien against a gambling casino and hotel that was in escrow. The Court did not require my client to post a bond due to
irregularities in the sales transaction.

That allowed my client to immediately collect on the lien before the sale was consummated.
