California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Olson v. Grad, G054420 (Cal. App. 2018):

An action against an attorney for wrongful conduct, other than actual fraud, must be brought within one year after a plaintiff learns, or acting reasonably diligently should have learned, of the misconduct. ( 340.6(a).) "[B]ased on its plain language, section 340.6 applies to all actions 'against an attorney for a wrongful act or omission, other than for actual fraud, arising in the performance of professional services.'" (Bergstein v. Stroock & Stroock & Lavan LLP (2015) 236 Cal.App.4th 793, 818, 819 [action against lawyer for aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty, interference with contract and prospective economic advantage, and unjust enrichment].)
