In addition to its transactional practice, the firm has developed a specialty in UCC Article 8. Article 8 is the forgotten article of the UCC.
The core of Article 8 is that once a company issues a security (such as a share of common stock)
that security is valid and cannot be cancelled, nor can the company place a stop transfer on the certificate. The only person who can cause a stop transfer is someone who has the right to make an adverse claim--that is, the owner of record.

For your reference are two lawsuits in which the firm is or was counsel on UCC matters:

Duluth Venture Capital Partners, LLC c. CleanTech Biofuels, et. al and exhibits.
(Defendants all agreed to pay settlement)


Filiatreaux v. Duoyuan Printing, Inc. (pending)

If you are a stockholder and you believe that the issuer has wrongfully placed a stop order on your shares, contact us for a consultation.
