Christopher Coffey, an early pioneer in the remote security surveillance industry, has filed a lawsuit against multi-billion-dollar, international security company, Garda Security, Inc. Coffey alleges that Garda violated his rights as a minority shareholder of eCAMSECURE (“eCAM”), a Garda subsidiary that Coffey sold to Garda in 2019, by breaching contractual agreements and fiduciary duties. He alleges that Garda circumvented his right to require that Garda’s acquisition of Stealth Topco Holdings, LLC, which closed in October 2024, be made by eCAM, in which Coffey owns a minority interest (rather than by another Garda subsidiary). Coffey is represented by Amnon Z. Siegel of Miller Barondess, LLP, and Theodore J. Cohen and Stuart Johnson of Cohen Johnson Bartlett LLP.
