In a recent $24 million lawsuit concerning evasion of tariffs on Chinese pipe fittings, a California federal judge has awarded a substantial $2.5 million in attorney fees to law firm Mayer Brown LLP. The firm justifiedly secured the amount following successful legal action taken against a New Jersey-based waterworks and fire protection company.
Mayer Brown found itself against a robust opponent, with the accused being previously involved in similar situations of tariff evasion. The comprehensive details of the case and the complexities entailed have not been fully disclosed to protect the parties involved.
