Law firm sued for $25M in sale of Hafadai hotel

Members of the Tenorio, Guerrero, and Borja families of Saipan who were minority shareholders of Saipan Hotel Corp. and Pacific Development Inc. filed an amended complaint in the CNMI Superior Court on March 3 against their former law firm, Carlsmith Ball, and several of its partners.
