2846 REVIEW DENIED Although shareholders of a corporation stand in the corporation's shoes when bringing a shareholders' derivative action, such an action can not be maintained for malpractice against corporate attorneys, because the attorney-client privilege, which is held by the corporation and not by the shareholders, would prevent the attorneys from mounting an effective defense.CitationMCDERMOTT... v SUPERIOR COURT (Derivative Malpractice) 83 CA4 378 [See: Jones v Ahmanson 1 C3 93; Baum v Duckor 72 CA4 54, T/AT 6/99; NFLP v SUPERIOR COURT 65 CA4 100, T/AT 8/98]
