A dispute arose between Band and Libby regarding the development and construction of a luxury condominium. Band, the managing general partner of the development and an attorney, contacted Libby to invite him to become an investor. Band and his former law firm had previously represented Libby on numerous matters. Libby made an initial investment of about $140,000 in exchange for a ten percent interest in the project. Libby received, signed, and returned conflict waiver/disclosure letters relating to the project from Band’s law firm.
