MIAMI, FL – November 11, 2026 – Bast Amron represented the Kalera Liquidating Trust in litigation against former directors and officers of Kalera Inc., resulting in an approved $4 million settlement.
Bast Amron served as special liquidation counsel to the Liquidating Trustee of the Kalera Liquidating Trust. Following confirmation of Kalera’s bankruptcy plan, and the formation of the Liquidating Trust, the firm was retained to investigate and prosecute potential claims against former directors and officers of Kalera Inc. and its affiliated entities.
Prior to entering bankruptcy, Kalera was a vertical farming company founded in 2010 that operated in the agricultural technology sector. Kalera focused on the development and implementation of economically-friendly agriculture technology. Although it operated through most of its existence as a research and development company, in the last few years of operation, its officers and directors implemented a massive business expansion leading it to acquire or construct multiple new growing facilities simultaneously across the country, in the face of uncertain funding and a lack of liquidity, resulting in bankruptcy.
In connection with its representation, Bast Amron investigated potential claims and commenced an adversary proceeding alleging breach of fiduciary duty and aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty. After engaging in motion practice, the parties participated in a mediation, resulting in a $4 million settlement, that was subsequently approved by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas.
The Bast Amron team was led by Founding Partner Brett M. Amron and Partner Dana R. Quick, with Attorney Katie Tonkinson and Senior Paralegal Maria Desvergunat.
