Blankingship & Keith principal Kevin F.X. DeTurris achieved a decisive victory in the Virginia Court of Appeals , affirming key principles of corporate law and shielding Constellis, LLC from unwarranted successor liability claims.
The case involved a dispute over whether Constellis, LLC, a parent company, should pay debts tied to a government project in Iraq. The court firmly rejected the claim, ruling that Virginia law does not hold parent companies liable for the obligations of their subsidiaries unless extraordinary circumstances exist, which were not present here.
This win highlights Blankingship & Keith’s expertise in defending businesses against complex and unfounded legal claims.
