Attorneys obtained summary judgment

Attorneys obtained summary judgment. Plaintiffs, two limited partners claimed that our client, an attorney for the general partner, aided and abetted the general partner's breaches of fiduciary duties owed them.  The court held that an attorney acting in the course and scope of representing his client cannot be held liable to third parties unless the attorney intended to harm the third party, and that plaintiffs were unable to demonstrate such an intent without the aid of expert testimony suggesting that the attorney acted beyond the normal provisions of legal services.
