Sheri Thome (Partner-Las Vegas) and Shawn Mangano (Of Counsel-Las Vegas) represented a lawyer who was sued for malpractice for failing to prepare adequate damages disclosures before withdrawing from a commercial case for non-payment. Substitute counsel undertook representation and provided supplemental damage disclosures the day before the close of discovery. The disclosures were inadequate, and were made more than eight months after our client had withdrawn.  The court eventually granted a motion in limine that included a finding that new counsel had willfully violated disclosure obligations, thereby justifying claim-terminating sanctions. Subsequently, the former client filed separate lawsuits against both firms. Our client moved for summary judgment on causation, arguing that substitute counsel – and not our client – was responsible for any damages incurred by the plaintiff by virtue of the court ruling on the motion in limine. At oral argument, the Court granted summary judgment in our client's favor.
