CPM represented Madera Irrigation District--a public agency that services over 100,000 acres of farmland with water supply each year in Central California--in a malpractice action against its former general counsel for alleged negligent legal advice relating to a major transaction the district was contemplating involving third-party financial investment in the construction of a massive underground water bank for the district in exchange for water rights of the district. After years of hard-fought litigation and a phase one trial, the parties settled the matter with Madera Irrigation District receiving $7.85 million dollars in full and final settlement of all claims.
