LCM Sued by BAX
Lion Contract Management (LCM), LLC, operators of a web-based ocean contract management system that allows customers an affordable solution to manage, search and quote contract rates within the Ocean Transportation industry, has been sued by BAX Global (Parent company: The Pittson Company/Brinks). The lawsuit, filed by BAX Global, states that LCM has misappropriated property that belongs to BAX. LCM representatives state they have sufficient evidence to prove in a court of law that they have not misappropriated any property as alleged by BAX and feel that BAX Global’s efforts are just a continuance of moves made by them to fund their struggling company and dilute competitors. Some LCM board members were previously employed by BAX Global and are named in the lawsuit.
