Won summary judgment for a law firm in a legal malpractice claim brought in federal court in New Jersey. The plaintiffs, a prominent architect and his wife, alleged that the defendant lawyers breached their obligation of due care and their duty of loyalty in connection with an agreement by the plaintiffs to guarantee the $12 million debt of a company engaged in the operation of an amusement pier in Atlantic City. In granting summary judgment, the court accepted our argument that the defendant lawyers did not represent the plaintiffs and thus owed them no duty.

Represented Presbyterian Senior Living and its subsidiary, Pine Run Village, Inc., in the $80.6 million acquisition from Doylestown Hospital of substantially all of the assets of a continuing care retirement community that included Pine Run Retirement Community and Pine Run Lakeview. This transaction drew on the experience of the firm's corporate, business litigation, health law, environmental, employee benefits, labor and employment, public and project finance, tax, and real estate attorneys.
