Michael D. Freeborn, Partner in the Firm's Litigation Practice Group and a founding partner of the Firm, was quoted in an April 29, 2008 BusinessNorth article regarding a family business buyout dispute over the value of family-owned enterprises. Mr. Freeborn, lead attorney representing the founder of the companies and his younger son, referenced the 2006 appraised value and noted that “[his client has] offered to pay that.” The older son refused the deal and a trial is pending.
