Settlement in Coal Dispute

Gordon & Simmons has been successful in resolving a dispute involving an alleged multi-million-dollar contract for the sale of coal from the Glen Alum mines in Wharncliffe, West Virginia.  The dispute was litigated in federal and state courts in Virginia, Maryland and West Virginia beginning in 2011, but is being settled to end 2013. Gordon & Simmons attorneys, together with the leadership at West Virginia Coal Venture I, LLC and KWV Operations, LLC, (two businesses under the umbrella of The Halle Companies), have succeeded in striking a deal with Integrity Coal Sales, Inc. to end the litigation.
