The attorneys practicing in this area have experience litigating claims involving a variety of underlying issues, including securities fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, intellectual property, partnership disputes, real estate, trust and estates, taxation and other substantive matters. We understand the significant financial and long-term implications of these claims on our clients and work with them to develop tailored litigation plans and strategy to obtain effective results.
Legal malpractice actions involve “cases within cases.” A plaintiff must prove not just that the attorney committed a negligent act or omission but that the outcome of the underlying action would have been favorable to the client. We understand the significance and the nuances of this two-pronged analysis and the need to hold plaintiffs to their proof. We utilize experienced consultants and experts, and we are proactive in seeking dismissal and summary judgment so that trial can be avoided whenever possible.
