Julie has represented clients in various types of commercial and business litigation matters, including matters concerning misappropriation of trade secrets, business torts, breach of contract, insurance coverage, defamation and covenants not to compete. She represented a group of sellers in opposing claims for breach of a covenant not to compete contained in an asset purchase agreement, misappropriation of trade secrets and interference with business relations. After extensive discovery and motion practice, the case resolved favorably. Julie tried, to a favorable verdict, a misappropriation of trade secrets and breach of fiduciary duty case arising from a former employee's theft of a customer list. She has regularly represented an aircraft broker and obtained a favorable verdict in a trial arising from a dispute over a commission and successfully defended the company against claims for breach of contract, conversion and breach of fiduciary duty.
Julie has experience in representing clients in the healthcare industry. She has served as lead counsel in several litigated matters arising from the purchase or sale of assets by health care companies. Julie has also represented clients in connection with physician disputes. She successfully litigated to judgment a matter applying the Tennessee Supreme Court's recent decision in Murfreesboro Medical Clinic, P.A. v. Udom, 166 S.W.3d 674 (Tenn. 2005) declaring physician covenants not to compete unenforceable. She was named an "Outstanding Healthcare Litigator" by Nightingale Healthcare News in 2007.
She also maintains a real estate litigation practice. She has experience representing owners, contractors, subcontractors and suppliers in litigation and arbitration. For several years, Julie represented general contractors throughout Tennessee in exterior insulation finish system (EIFS) litigation.
