A Travis County jury has returned a $1.29 million verdict against DLA Piper after finding the firm was negligent in failing to advise an Australian businessman that the firm did not represent him in a loan transaction with an Austin-based company.
“We’re very happy. We think we got our client’s money back. This is what he should have recovered if they did what they said they’d do,” says Jeffrey Taylor of The Akin Law Firm in Austin, who represents Linegar along with Taylor Dunham partner Don Taylor and associate Jennifer Tatum Lee.
