Lisa Lamm Bachman Wins $2.1 M Judgment Against Gander Mountain

A $2.1 million judgment granted by a federal Minnesota court has been upheld by the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals. The recent decision marked a big win for a Minnesota attorney who, on behalf of her client the Grandoe Corporation, won a $2.1 million judgment after the Gander Mountain Company violated an oral agreement to purchase $3.05 million worth of winter gloves from Grandoe.

“This enforces the fact that not all contracts have to be written,” said Lisa Lamm Bachman, attorney for Grandoe. “You can have an enforceable oral contract.”
