Can a plaintiff bring an attorney-client conspiracy claim?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Max v. Fed. Nat'l Mortg. Ass'n, F070592 (Cal. App. 2016):
Moreover, an attorney-client conspiracy claim is not viable as a matter of law unless the attorney has an independent legal duty to the plaintiff, the attorney's acts go beyond the scope of his or her professional responsibilities, or the attorney derived economic advantage over and above the fees charged for the professional services rendered. (Rickley v. Goodfriend (2013) 212 Cal.App.4th 1136, 1150-1151.) No such allegations are made here.
