Summerland Falls v. Quinn Emanuel Urquhart
Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, LLP and Fred Bennett appeal from an order denying their motion to compel arbitration of a legal malpractice action filed by respondents, Summerland Falls, LLC (Summerland), Jack Riley, and Paul Winkler. (Code Civ. Proc., § 1281.2.) Appellants provided legal services to respondents pursuant to an Engagement Letter that had an arbitration provision which was initialed by Summerland and Riley but not Winkler. The trial court found that Winkler was not a signator to the arbitration agreement and that arbitration of the action with respect to Summerland and Riley would create the possibility of conflicting rulings on common issues of law and fact. (Code Civ. Proc., § 1281.2, subd. (c).) We affirm.
