In this blog post, Attorney Bryson Brown of Snow Christensen and Martineau in Salt Lake City UT sheds a good light on what diversity in the workplace means and how it is not just a good life lesson, but it also is the law, as there are both federal and state statutes that prohibit certain types of discrimination in the workplace. Bryson highlights the importance and legal aspects of treating others with respect, kindness, understanding, and inclusivity.

A trial team led by Robert B. Cummings, with primary assistance from Brenda Weinberg and Whitney Warnick, recently obtained a judgment of more than $340,000 in favor of the firm’s client. The plaintiff filed a lawsuit against SCM’s client alleging breaches of fiduciary duties and related claims stemming from what the plaintiff believed was an unlawful theft of customers. Mr. Cummings successfully defended the client against a preliminary injunction and assisted the client with filing a claim for dissolution of the plaintiff corporation. The plaintiff elected to purchase company shares but claimed the plaintiff corporation was worth nothing. That led to a trial to determine the value of SCM’s clients’ shares in the plaintiff corporation, which resulted in the court determining the company was worth 7-figures – well over the plaintiff’s claimed negative valuation.
