KPMG Accounting Malpractice Verdict Affirmed but $38 Million Damage Award Vacated

A New Jersey appeals court has found sufficient evidence that accounting giant KPMG was negligent in its audits of the books of a ceramic collectibles company but inadequate proof to support a $38 million damages award to another company that acquired it. The panel said KPMG's spotty audit amounted to malpractice on a non-client, but found that the acquiring company and its president failed to prove that the combined company at the time of the merger was worth its purported value and to justify the jury's award.

The Legal Malpractice Expert Makes or Breaks a Case

Let's face it. Few of us in the legal profession want to sue a fellow attorney. The idea of "bad karma" can't be denied. Litigating is hard, complicated work, and any one of us could hit the same pitfalls as those attorneys facing legal malpractice claims.

In fact, generally in suing a professional, the plaintiff must present an expert to confirm that his or her claim is valid.

Just because a case is resolved and the representation is over doesn't mean a lawyer's work is done. An ethics opinion published Monday makes clear that for years afterward, lawyers can still have obligations regarding closed case files. George Kenny, a partner with Roseland's Connell Foley, criticizes the insurance defense portion of the opinion as being "murky" and raising "unnecessary problems."
