In Goldfisher v. Superior Court (1982) 133 Cal. App. 3d 12, the two law firms provided serial representation to the same client in the same matter. Law Firm I mishandled the case, and the client replaced it with Law Firm II. The client directed Law Firm II to sue Law Firm I for malpractice, and Law Firm I filed a cross-action for indemnity against Law Firm II. (Goldfisher, supra, 133 Cal. App. 3d at p. 14.) The court, following a line of similar cases, held "To encourage claims of indemnification where two lawyers successively represented the same client is not for the benefit of the client. Differences between lawyer and client respecting malpractice should be limited to themselves. The facts which generally germinate the relief sought at bench are pregnant with the seed of exacerbated conflict. The inevitable consequence is a corrosion of the sacred attributes of complete confidentiality and undivided loyalty which are the heart of the relationship between lawyer and client. It is our considered judgment the potential damage involved is grave and inevitable. On balance any loss of an asserted right is of small consequence when measured against the public interest." (Goldfisher, supra, 133 Cal. App. 3d at p. 22.)
