Jackson Walker announces a significant victory for The Trade Group in a high-stakes commercial litigation case. After a two-week jury trial in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Fort Worth Division, our client was awarded $8,297,445.17 million in damages, attorneys’ fees, and interest. On January 6, 2025, the court entered a Final Judgment for the full award in favor of The Trade Group.
The Trade Group, a Grapevine, Texas-based experiential marketing company, had asserted six claims under Texas law against BTC Media, seeking payment for unpaid goods and services, audit fees, and storage fees related to BTC Media’s Bitcoin event in 2022 (“Bitcoin 2022”) held in Miami, Florida. The Trade Group also sought to hold BTC Media liable for all six claims under alter-ego liability and agency liability pursuant to Delaware law.
Jackson Walker’s team, co-led by Fort Worth partner Scott Wheatley and Dallas partner Lindsey Marsh Brown, successfully advanced The Trade Group’s position and secured a favorable verdict.
“We are pleased to have secured this victory for The Trade Group,” Scott Wheatley said. “This case demonstrates our firm’s commitment to providing exceptional legal representation and achieving positive outcomes for our clients.”
The Jackson Walker team included Scott Wheatley, Lindsey Marsh Brown, Trevor Paul, Sarah Starr, and Elizabeth Pittman.
