Los Angeles County Jury Sides With Plaintiff.
Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith was owed over $1 million by ReadyLink Healthcare, Inc., a nursing registry that provides hospital staffing, as a principal result of Lewis Brisbois' unsuccessful handling of a trade secret trial (as well as other matters) on ReadyLink's behalf. ReadyLink eventually sued for malpractice and breach of contract, claiming it was overbilled and that the trade secrets litigation was not handled well.
Well, after a two month jury trial, the verdict is in. A Los Angeles County Superior Court jury awarded more than $6 million to ReadyLink.
