In a battle between two Am Law 100 firms, Holland & Knight landed a seven-figure judgment in a bench trial for its chemical manufacturing client, after a federal district court in Tampa ruled an international trading company breached a fertilizer-purchase contract.

Jason Baruch and Christopher Nolan, partners at Holland & Knight in its Tampa and New York offices, respectively, were the lead attorneys for the plaintiff, Fertilizantes Tocantins S.A., who sued the defendant, TGO Agriculture Inc., over an allegedly breached contract governed by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).
