A Gordon Rees Scully Mansukhani team of Philadelphia Partner Michael Cawley and Senior Counsel Joseph Monahan successfully defended a well-recognized commercial litigation firm against a $500 million lawsuit. The plaintiff alleged significant damages tied to claims of professional malpractice and breach of fiduciary duty stemming from the firm’s client’s prior representation of the plaintiff, which was alleged to have caused extensive financial harm.
Through diligent preparation and strategic motion practice, GRSM’s litigation team challenged the legal basis of the allegations. By filing preliminary objections, akin to a motion to dismiss in federal court, GRSM successfully argued that the claims were legally insufficient. The court agreed, granting the objections and dismissing the case with prejudice, preventing the plaintiff from refiling the lawsuit.
