GableGotwals Prevails for Clients before Nevada Supreme Court

January 8, 2025 | GableGotwals represents Jet Commercial Construction, LLC and its owners, Steve Rich and Jake Sharp, in a negligent-misrepresentation and breach-of-contract dispute arising from the construction of a fountain at Ceasars Place in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Firm’s litigation team moved to dismiss the individual claims due to lack of personal jurisdiction. The trial court denied the motion and issued subsequent adverse rulings against the individual owners on discovery issues. The litigation team filed a petition for a writ of prohibition with the Nevada Supreme Court, which the Court ultimately granted and directed the trial court to dismiss Rich and Sharp.

The litigation team is led by shareholder Nick V. Merkley and includes shareholders Brooks A. Richardson and J. Blake Patton, associates Gerard M. D’Emilio, and Ashlyn M. Smith, paralegal Rhonda Palmer, and legal assistants Pam Edmonds and Sheri Howard.
