Lenа Lаrsоn wоrks аs a sharehоlder in Ferraro & Larson, P.C., a Professional Corporation law firm with three equity shareholders and five associates. Since graduating from law school, Larson has represented a college friend, Cary Cafallo. Cafallo was a creative entrepreneur who organized business opportunities for others. By 2022, approximately 50% of Larson’s time was devoted to providing legal services to Cafallo and affiliated entities. On July 1, 2022, Cafallo met with Larson to discuss a new business venture. Larson was starting to sell “Hillcrest Notes,” issued by a prestigious British bank from 1940-1950. Cafallo explained to Larson that the Hillcrest Notes were no longer financial instruments in the United Kingdom but were collectible assets that appreciated in value. Cafallo’s plan was to sell the Hillcrest Notes to wealthy investors who wanted significant appreciation in asset value more than ordinary income. Cafallo provided Larson a letter from Kent & Kent, a British law firm. The British firm’s letter stated that the Hillcrest Notes were treated as collectibles in the United Kingdom, not subject to regulation by British securities or banking authorities. Cafallo wanted to retain Larson to write a similar letter stating that the Hillcrest Notes were not securities under U.S. law and therefore exempt from the state’s merit review process in which the state regulator would evaluate whether the investment was fair, just, and equitable. Cafallo wanted to provide an opinion letter to financial planners to give them comfort in sharing the investment opportunity with their clients. Although Larson was not a securities lawyer, Larson agreed to prepare the letter after reading the authority referred to in the Kent & Kent letter. Larson did not consult a securities law specialist, but conducted her own research. Thereafter, Larson used firm letterhead to write an opinion letter addressed to Cafallo. In the letter dated October 1, 2022, Larson stated that the letter was only intended for individuals marketing the Hillcrest Notes and that investors should consult their own legal counsel. In addition to hourly fees associated with preparing the opinion letter, Cafallo gave Ferraro & Larson P.C. a 5% equity interest in the corporation that managed the Hillcrest Notes. The managing shareholder of Ferraro & Larson, P.C. approved the fee arrangement. Armed with Larson’s opinion letter, Cafallo contacted financial planners to assist with marketing the Hillcrest Notes. In communicating with prospective investors, the financial planners repeated the information in the Larson opinion letter. The marketing efforts resulted in ten investors buying three million dollars in Hillcrest Notes in 2023. In 2025 the ten investors received a letter from the state securities regulator explaining that the regulator was investigating Hillcrest Notes. Subsequently, the investors learned that Hillcrest Notes was a “Ponzi” fraud scheme in which new investor funds were used to pay other investors. Within a year, Cafallo was indicted for securities fraud, and the investors lost their funds. Analyze all legal malpractice claims that investors could assert and possible defenses, as well as related legal malpractice insurance issues raised by the facts. For this analysis, do not include any claims that might be brought under state or federal securities laws. Student response should not exceed 2,000 words.
