Congratulations to John Petite on major appellate victory
March 8, 2012
Greensfelder attorney John Petite briefed and argued an appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, which reversed a district court judgment and held that a brand covenant in the real property deed to a gas station was valid and enforceable. The same restriction was used in deeds to more than 100 stations in Virginia and is thus a critical safeguard of the client's distribution model in that geography.
