Bright Green Sues Rodey Law Firm for Over $3B in Damages

Bright Green Corporation and its CEO Lynn Stockwell, announced the filing of a lawsuit seeking damages in excess of $3B against Rodey Law Firm and Attorneys' Liability Assurance Society. The complaint, filed in the Thirteenth Judicial District Court of New Mexico, alleges legal malpractice, breach of contract, and bad faith breach of fiduciary duty. The underlying litigation resulted in findings of no wrongdoing by Lynn Stockwell. Despite this, the court imposed joint and several liability, including a $104.5M judgment against Lynn Stockwell personally, due to Rodey's failure to introduce SEC Form S-1, a dispositive federal filing, during critical stages of litigation. This omission allowed the opposing party's consolidation theory to stand unchallenged without legal authority, leading to catastrophic damage and future business losses exceeding $3B. "The court found no wrongdoing on my part, yet I was held jointly and severally liable because our counsel failed to use the most critical evidence proving the defendant was never an employee and that Bright Green Corporation had no agreements for compensation or stock without a shovel-ready lease assignable from an unrelated corporation," said Stockwell. "Had Rodey followed explicit instructions and introduced SEC Form S-1, the outcome would have been entirely different."
