The high-end woman’s clothing retailer Leggiadro Ltd. has multiple avenues by which it can potentially recover for legal malpractice against Winston & Strawn, a Manhattan appeals court has ruled.
A panel of the Appellate Division, First Department, denied the law firm’s motion for summary judgment in a suit centered on Leggiadro’s claim that it wouldn’t have accepted a landlord’s buyout of its Madison Avenue store if it had been advised by Winston that it would owe $400,000 in New York City corporate taxes after the transaction.
