Soloway Comments on Dismissal of Fraud Claims in Harounian Family Real Estate Dispute
Pryor Cashman Partner Todd Soloway, Co-Chair of the firm’s Litigation Group and Chair of the Real Estate Litigation Practice, was quoted in The Real Deal following a favorable ruling for client Mark Harounian in a long-running legal dispute involving Harounian’s sister, Mehrnaz Homapour.
In the article “Real estate scion Mark Harounian shakes off sister’s fraud claims,” The Real Deal reported that a New York State judge dismissed multiple fraud claims brought by Homapour, who alleged her brother misled her into signing documents that allowed him to enrich himself through family real estate businesses.

Todd, who leads Harounian’s defense alongside Partner Bill Charron, commented on the significance of the ruling:
