Button · variants and states
Every control takes the same 2px focus outline at a 2px offset, so the ring sits on the page ground rather than on the control’s own fill.

INTAKE-2026-0184
Citation
Rowan Instruments, Inc. v. Delacourt Systems LLC, No. 2:22-cv-01184 (E.D. Pa. 2023)
Authority stack
Section heading
Heading, eyebrow and lede move together when the row wraps.
Whether a calibration dataset was identified with enough particularity to enjoin anyone.
Injunction denied from the bench. The case settled seven months later. Appearing for the defendant.
Portrait plate · three sizes, one asset each
Profile, roster row and byline. The plate’s ground sits between the ink band and the dark card, so one file works in both modes without a scrim, and no type is ever set on it.
Board grain · --board-fibre at --board-fibre-strength
The board with its material on the left and the flat token on the right. The layer lightens, never darkens, so no pair measured against the board loses a point of contrast to it.

How we work
Most trade-secret injunctions are lost on identification, not on the misappropriation story. We litigate the identification.1
No. 2:22-cv-01184 (E.D. Pa. 2023)
Rowan Instruments, Inc. v. Delacourt Systems LLC
Injunction denied for want of a particularised secret.
An appeal is won in the trial court. We staff the record with the appeal already drafted in outline.2
No. 23-1907 (3d Cir. 2024)
Calderon v. Hartsfield Mutual Insurance Co.
Reversed on an objection preserved eleven months earlier.
We try cases. Nine days in front of a Philadelphia jury is a normal outcome here, not an escalation.3
Nov. Term 2019, No. 00447 (Phila. C.C.P. 2021)
Vantage Rail Partners LP v. Keystone Terminal Services
Verdict for the plaintiff after a nine-day trial.
src/components/record-strip.tsx
The record
Confidential resolutions are not listed, and what is listed carries its docket number.
Whether a calibration dataset was identified with enough particularity to enjoin anyone.
Injunction denied from the bench. The case settled seven months later. Appearing for the defendant.
How far a books-and-records demand reaches when a squeeze-out is already priced.
Demand narrowed to four categories. The transaction closed on its original date. Appearing for the special committee.
Whether a suit-limitation clause survives a mid-term renewal that never restates it.
Reversed and remanded, precedential. Appearing for the appellant.
Prior results depend on the facts of each matter and do not guarantee a similar outcome in yours.

Practice
Contract, partnership and control fights that reach a courtroom, taken by lawyers who expect to finish them in front of a jury.
Dana Hollis runs it. First chair. Opens and closes; takes the cross that decides the case.
src/components/practice-doctrine.tsx
Positions
A contract is read against the parties' own course of dealing. We build that history before we plead.1
Nov. Term 2019, No. 00447 (Phila. C.C.P. 2021)
Vantage Rail Partners LP v. Keystone Terminal Services
Nine years of unenforced minimums, reconstructed from invoices.
Earn-out fights turn on who controlled the metric. That is a documents question, and it is answered early or not at all.2
No. 3:23-cv-02218 (D.N.J. 2025)
Sable Creek Capital v. Merrow Analytics, Inc.
Summary judgment for the defendant on all counts.
A books-and-records demand is a scope negotiation with a deadline. Treat it as discovery and the deal slips.3
C.A. No. 2021-0932 (Del. Ch. 2022)
In re Brightline Freight Holdings
Demand narrowed to four categories; closing date held.

6 entries out of 52, with the clerk's own numbering kept.
