Hertz, one of the world’s largest rental car brands, is suing former marketing partner Accenture LLP for breach of contract, claiming the company failed to deliver when Hertz hired it to redesign its website and mobile apps.

In a lawsuit filed on April 19 in the U.S. District Court of the Southern District of New York by law firm Brown Rudnick, Hertz demanded a jury trial as well as repayment of all attorneys’ fees, related costs and unspecified millions in damages caused by Accenture’s alleged “breaches” and “unfair and deceptive acts.”
