Lynn Pinker Hurst Schwegmann attorneys Michael P. Lynn, Michael K. Hurst and Chloe M. Teeter were featured in Mining Weekly after filing a petition with the Supreme Court of Texas regarding Brazilian mineral company Itabiriçu’s ongoing extraction and processing rights dispute with rival company Vale SA. The dispute stems from Itabiriçu’s allegations that Vale extracted and sold more than 100-million tons of the metal rightfully owned by Itabiriçu to a third party, which then shipped the processed ore through the Port of Corpus Christi.  

“For years Vale has been wrongfully storing our clients’ rightfully owned raw materials with theirs and selling them,” says Mr. Hurst. “Vale and its co-conspirators should not benefit from making our client’s iron nearly impossible to trace.”
