Court of Appeals of New York

Defendant law firm, which successfully litigated an I.R.S. tax dispute, did not commit legal malpractice when it failed to question whether an agreement entered into between the client and a related company may have relieved it of the tax liability. Defendants were properly awarded a money judgment where defendants had not answered or asserted a counterclaim.
