Res-Ga McDonough, LLC v. Taylor English Duma LLP

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed the trial court’s dismissal of RES‑GA’s legal‑malpractice action, holding that RES‑GA lacked standing to pursue its Uniform Fraudulent Transfers Act claim, that the non‑assignment statute is not preempted by either the Uniform Commercial Code or the Federal Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act, and therefore the malpractice claim fails. The Court applied de novo review of the motion to dismiss and relied on established statutory construction and preemption principles.
