Appellate Decision Cements CG&P Victory in Legal Malpractice Action

The Appellate Division, Second Department, affirmed the dismissal of a legal malpractice action against a New York law firm represented by CG&P. In the decision, which was issued on February 10, 2016, the Appellate Division rejected the plaintiffs’ alleged need for discovery and affirmed the lower court’s ruling that the claims against CG&P’s client were barred by the statute of limitations. In so holding, the Appellate Division agreed with CG&P’s argument that, for purposes of the continuous representation doctrine, CG&P’s client’s representation of the plaintiffs in the underlying action ended on a date prior to the date that the consent to change attorney form was signed. Congratulations to CG&P Partner Matt Flanagan and CG&P associate Christopher Rogers on the win
