After a five-day bench trial, Los Angeles partner Chris Heck won a $1.85 million judgment for breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, fraud and conversion on behalf of a partner and a limited liability company in an action against another partner and member.  The case concerned a lease agreement with options to extend for valuable stable and horse property in Malibu, California.  Mr. Heck, along with co-counsel, also secured a $625,000 settlement from the counterparty to the lease on the eve of trial.
