Trial Results/Case Highlights

Jacobsen v. Overley
 
This was a defamation case where we provided a defense for the CEO of an advertising agency. Plaintiff had alleged that a defamatory email had been forwarded by our client to his sales reps and this had caused her damages including the inability to work in the advertising business in the future. Our client had not originated the email and had made no defamatory or disparaging remarks about the plaintiff in this matter. We believed that since the email was only forwarded to sales reps within the company, there was a qualified business privilege that would apply if we went to trial. Our carrier elected to settle for a modest amount.
