Gordon & Rees San Diego partner Michelle R. Bernard and senior counsel Allison L. Jones recently prevailed on an anti-SLAPP motion in San Diego County Superior Court. The win resulted in dismissal of malicious prosecution and abuse of process claims against a corporate defendant client in a contentious business litigation dispute. In light of the ruling, under California's anti-SLAPP statute, Gordon & Rees's client will be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees and costs in bringing the motion.
Mark Davis (SF) recently led a Gordon & Rees team that included Don Woodard (ATL), Sean Carroll (PHX), Leonor Dicdican (SAC), and Peter Ente (OC) to complete a private securities offering and celebrity endorsement agreement for client Riot Hospitality Group.
