Attorneys obtained summary judgment in favor of our client

Attorneys obtained summary judgment in favor of our client.  On the date of their wedding, plaintiff and her former husband executed three separate documents which were each styled as pre-nuptial agreements although they were not captioned as such.  The documents contained vague language regarding expiration dates of the agreements and the mutual options to renegotiate the terms of the agreements.  After twelve years of marriage, the parties began divorce proceedings and plaintiff hired our client to challenge the validity of the pre-nuptial agreements seeking her share of the husband's 50 million dollar net worth.  Despite the unusual circumstances regarding the execution of the documents and the somewhat vague language, the trial court determined that when the documents were viewed collectively, they constituted a valid and enforceable pre-nuptial agreement.   Plaintiff then sued our client alleging malpractice in the failed challenge to the pre-nuptial agreement and asserted multiple errors in the admission of testimony and exhibits and strategies of our client.  Plaintiff asserted a damage model of 10-13 million dollars against our client.  We were able to obtain summary judgment by successfully arguing to the trial court that the plaintiff's expert's opinions were based upon nothing more than speculation and conjecture as to why the trial court ruled the documents to be a valid pre-nuptial agreement and than absent something more, plaintiff could not establish a prima facie case of professional negligence.  The trial court's grant of summary judgment was affirmed by the Pennsylvania Superior Court.
