IN THE COURTROOM AND IN THE BOARDROOM
In a trial venued at LASC Santa Monica, P.K. Schrieffer LLP resolved a case on the eve of closing arguments at trial in a broker malpractice case arising from $3.5 million in claimed uncovered fine arts losses. The case settled for less than 3% of claimed damages after cross-examination of plaintiff’s standard of care expert. |
P.K. Schrieffer LLP successfully defended an insurance producer and broker in a professional negligence cause of action. The limited liability partnership was compensated for the loss by the carrier but pursued professional negligence claims against the producer and broker based in part on delay in determining limits. After one deposition, the limited partnership agreed to dismiss the case against the producer and broker for a waiver of costs. |
P.K. Schrieffer LLP secured a unanimous defense verdict after a jury trial of whistleblower wrongful termination case. Plaintiff claimed she reported Enron like accounting and tax fraud to her supervisor and was then terminated. The jury deliberated for ½ a day prior to returning the verdict. This case was featured in DRI - The Voice of the Defense Bar's December 2, 2009 issue of The Voice. |
