Fullerton Medical Group v. Sideman & Bancroft
This is the third appeal in this case we have considered from plaintiff Fullerton Medical Group (Fullerton) arising out of its legal malpractice case against defendants Sideman & Bancroft LLP and one of its partners, Robert L. Leberman (collectively, “Sideman”). Fullerton had retained Sideman to provide legal advice regarding an antitrust claim against several health care providers: Brown & Toland Medical Group, Brown & Toland Physician Services Organization, California Pacific Medical Center, California Pacific Medical Services organization, and Sutter Health System (collectively, “business competitors” or “competitors”). It claims Sideman lost documents Fullerton entrusted to Sideman that were critical in proving its competitors violated antitrust laws. Following a jury trial, the trial court entered judgment in favor of Sideman.
