Overview
A major customer walked away from a long-term freight agreement, withheld payment for services already rendered, and threatened a far larger counterclaim.
The matter
Nordic's largest customer terminated a five-year agreement eighteen months early, withheld $12M in unpaid invoices, and threatened a counterclaim over alleged service failures that could have dwarfed the amount it owed.
Our strategy
We assembled the operational record before filing, showed the counterclaim had no factual basis, then moved aggressively for summary judgment on the unpaid invoices to reset the leverage in the case.
The result
Facing a dispositive motion it was likely to lose, the customer settled — paying the invoices in full plus a negotiated early-termination fee, with its counterclaim dismissed.
