A Fulton County judge has tossed out all the plaintiff’s claims in a legal malpractice suit against Holland & Knight and former partner W. Reeder Glass, ruling that most of them were filed after the four-year statute of limitations had run and that the plaintiff had failed to protect his own interests.
The complaint was filed by orthopedist Ishtiaq Khan, claiming he lost millions of dollars through failed investments in two real estate projects launched by Atlanta-developer M. “Shi” Shailendra. Glass and Holland & Knight represented Shailendra and related entities in several projects in Georgia and Florida. Khan, as trustee of a family trust, was among the plaintiffs who sued the law firm in California in 2011 over allegations that Glass had failed to safeguard Shailendra’s investors’ interests, costing them tens of millions of dollars when his deals collapsed.
