PC Brand Contract Dispute
PC Brand, Inc.
In July 1999, a Chicago jury returned a verdict and an $89 million judgment in favor of Winston & Strawn clients Anthony Gold, P.C. Brand, Inc., and Hanson & Connors, Inc. against Ziff Communications Company. The case involved a breach of contract stemming from the sale of PC Magazine by our client to the defendant in 1982. The victory was highlighted in a Wall Street Journal article, as well as the National Law Journal. In March of 2001, the Illinois Appellate Court affirmed as to liability, finding that Ziff had breached its obligations and caused damage to our clients.
