Fifth Circuit Affirms $3M Win for Gray Reed in Franchise Dispute

(Sept. 19) – Houston and Dallas lawyers from Gray Reed & McGraw have secured a $3.15 million appellate win for a cleaning franchisor that had a contract dispute with its partner in the United Kingdom.

In a one-sentence unpublished opinion, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit affirmed three previous orders by U.S. District Judge Jane Boyle and retired U.S. District Judge Jorge Solis of the Northern District of Texas that ruled in favor of Gray Reed’s client, Addison-based Jani-King Franchising, the world’s largest commercial cleaning franchise company.
