Notable Cases
Andrew Cargill MacMillan
Bovino & Associates represented the interests of Cargill heir Andrew Cargill MacMillan in an action to retain and secure control of a $250 million dollar trust. This complex case resulted in a series of high-profile legal actions and public conflicts between Andrew and other family members.
Juliana Pfister
Bovino & Associates represented Juliana Pfister in a suit against her grandparents’ law firm and her personal trustee, Andy Hecht and his son, Nikos Hecht. Bovino also achieved a confidential settlement for Pfister in a wrongful death suit asserting $25 million in damages.
Robyn S. Frankel
In March 2012, Bovino & Associates secured the highest-awarded medical malpractice lawsuit in the history of Santa Clara County, CA, $22 million dollars, in the case of Robyn S. Frankel v. Palo Alto Medical Foundation Group. The case – which hinged on a physician’s use of a cerebral angiogram without informing Frankel of potential risks, resulting in a stroke that caused her significant paralysis – was especially significant because it was initially dismissed with prejudice, but was successfully reopened and eventually won by Bovino and Associates.
Sunrise Company
Bovino & Associates negotiated and settled a major lawsuit over development rights in the Base Village area of Aspen, protecting the original agreement and rights of its client, Sunrise Company.
Centennial Owners Association
Bovino & Associates represented the Centennial Owners Association against the Aspen-Pitkin County Housing Authority, Pitkin County and the city of Aspen, in a suit over liability for housing repairs, including dealing with toxic mold, in a seven-building, 92-unit complex at the base of Smuggler Mountain.
