Active Litigation

Overview

Contessa Marine Research LLC (CMR) is the primary plaintiff entity in the action against Starboard Yacht Group LLC in the Southern District of Florida (0:23-cv-61696-RNS). CMR is controlled by Steven Ivankovich and was used as the vehicle to pursue claims against SYG for work performed on M/Y Octopussy — a 1988 vessel that Ivankovich's own counsel documented as 'destroyed' before SYG's work began. SYG obtained a default judgment against CMR after CMR's counsel withdrew. CMR's address overlaps with multiple other Ivankovich entities. SYG's $1.6M audit of the Octopussy was suppressed from the record.
