MCM Obtains Defense Verdict in Substantial Director and Officer Liability Case April 4, 2005 On April 4, 2005, the United States Bankruptcy Court in Portland, Maine entered its findings of fact and conclusions of law in a multi-million dollar director and officer liability suit brought by the trustee in bankruptcy of Maine Poly, Inc. against MCM clients, former directors and officers of the bankrupt company. The court held that the former directors and officers had no liability to the trustee. The case presented interesting questions of director liability in the context of several transactions between the now bankrupt company and the directors and affiliates of the directors, as well as interesting questions about the applicability of statutory "safe harbors" for interested director transactions.


	We hope that you will find this second edition of our website enjoyable and informative. Our website has been in existence for nearly three years. We received very positive feedback on our original edition, and we hope to continue the tradition with this edition. Some people think our approach is humorous; others think it is irreverent; some think it is frivolous. We think it is unique, possibly humorous, and very definitely irreverent -- none of which rules out being frivolous. In any case, we hope to convey to our online visitors the special personality and culture of our firm. Other law firm websites tend to be rather boastful and dry. We pointed this out in our original website, but apparently no one cared; as law firm websites continued in their same pattern. We think that is frivolous, but if you insist on it, enter "Preeminent Law Firm" on your Internet search engine. Otherwise, please proceed to learn more about us.
