New Jersey Court Dismisses Legal Malpractice Claim Against Lewis Brisbois, Citing Inadequate Expert Testimony

In a legal malpractice suit involving Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith, a New Jersey judge has ruled in favor of the defense, citing the plaintiff’s expert report as an impermissible net opinion. The lawsuit, initiated by Borgers, Saunders, Taylor & Associates, centered on the allegation that Lewis Brisbois failed to adequately inform clients and provide sufficient defense during litigation. However, the court concluded that the damages estimate of $20.1 million for the failed startup was “speculative” and lacked the “reasonable certainty” needed under legal standards.
