A Houston marketing company sued Houston’s Christian Smith & Jewell and former partner Stephen Cagle Jr., seeking more than $1 million in damages and alleging the defendants failed to notify it of a conflict of interest when representing it in a business dispute.
Plaintiff Signet Interactive alleges the defendants should have acknowledged that it was a conflict to defend the company and also defend majority shareholder Christopher Mulgrew from allegations in an underlying suit filed by Joy Yoga. Signet Interactive alleged the defendants aided and assisted Mulgrew in using corporate money and assets to fund a settlement with Joy Yoga in that suit.
