A New Jersey appeals court has handed Greenbaum, Rowe, Smith & Davis and two of its partners a win in a legal malpractice case, finding their representation of a close corporation did not create a duty to its three shareholders. Any duty that was breached was a duty only to the corporation, the court held in affirming dismissal of the case. The plaintiffs' initial hurdle in the suit was their retainer agreement, which said the firm represented only the company and the shareholders were advised to obtain independent counsel.
