The firm’s three clients were sued by a private golf club for breach of fiduciary duty, interference with prospective economic advantage and intentional interference with contract, based on their roles as Directors of a Homeowners Association in a multi-million dollar Rancho Santa Fe neighborhood. After completion of significant discovery and attack on the claims against its clients, and at the sole expense of the Board’s Directors and Officers insurer, the firm prevailed on a motion for summary judgment as to all claims against one of its three clients. Dismissals of all claims against the other two firm clients followed immediately thereafter, as did the bankruptcy filing of the golf club.
Counsel: P. Randolph Finch Jr. and Nowell A. Lantz
