Have you ever gotten to hear the opening statement of an eminent domain jury trial with $7 million of agency money on the line? Tune in, and you will here! Superstar Seattle lawyers Matt Hansen and Tara O'Hanlon from the law firm of Miller Nash Graham & Dunn celebrate the First Annual Billy Squier birthday episode of the Pendulum Land Podcast with your hosts! Matt and Tara explain how the valuation of restrictive covenants--and the risk of ignoring them--came into play in their recent jury trial (which was conducted via Zoom). Tara sets the table for our audience by re-creating her opening statement and then our guests navigate the audience through the rest of the odyssey. (Spoiler alert! The good guys won!) Most importantly, our guests demonstrate their mastery of the classic romantic comedy starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan.
