Representative Matters
Baker Donelson
Represented Baker Donelson in a legal malpractice suit brought by a litigation funding venture created to fund cases arising out of the Deepwater Horizon incident. When the plaintiff lost some of its claims against its co-venturer in an underlying arbitration, the plaintiff then sued Baker Donelson, claiming that it negligently caused plaintiff’s alleged arbitration losses. The plaintiff sought $48 million in damages. After securing a pre-trial summary judgment in its favor on various claims, Baker Donelson proceeded to and fully prevailed in a seven-day bench trial in federal court on plaintiff’s remaining claims. The Court issued a take-nothing judgment in favor of Baker Donelson.
