Obtained full recovery of attorney fees and costs incurred by a department store client via contractual indemnification from a Mall owner/manager following extensive litigation, via a motion for summary judgment. The exact cause and location of the personal injury claim were hotly disputed, as were the terms and conditions of the series of complex leases and operating agreements governing the relationship between the client and Mall owner, some of which dated back 50 years. New Jersey indemnification law under these circumstances has been sharply curtailed by recent cases and the outcome, prior to completion of all discovery, was far from certain. This was the third successful indemnification result arising in three separate NJ Malls for Alex in the past year.
