Greenspoon Marder attorneys helped their clients defeat nearly all claims in a $12 million lawsuit over a Fort Lauderdale hotel project that failed to get city approval.

Companies based in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia invested $6 million each in the proposed Cortez Hotel project a block from the beach just before the recession. They claimed the landowners hid revenue generated by the properties and misled the investors about how much the two parcels cost and how ownership was divided.
