Victory on Tap: Baileson Brewing Triumphs in High-Stakes Legal Battle
In a significant legal victory, Houston Principal Cory Curtis, successfully defended Baileson Brewing Company in a nearly two-year dispute with its landlord. The landlord sought to evict Baileson for “short paying” rent in early 2024, following a disagreement over the rental rate in a 12-year lease. After a “baseball arbitration” favored Baileson’s rent proposal, the landlord refused to pay costs and sought eviction. A Houston jury unanimously ruled in Baileson’s favor, allowing the brewery to remain in business and recover attorney’s fees and costs. With the business saved, Baileson couldn’t be happier!
The Bailison team shared on Instagram, “We want to send a special shout out to our attorney, Cory Curtis with Cokinos Young. We could not have asked for a better advocate for our business, as it has been evident from the start that he truly understood what the pub means to us and our patrons. Devoted to protecting our rights as a tenant, Cory and his colleagues fought (and continue to fight) on our behalf… 5 stars, highly recommended!”
Cory Curtis led the trial team and was assisted at trial by Houston paralegal, Todd White. Taylor Cooksey and Anthony Golz provided assistance along the way.
