Hardy immediately summoned Ross Beck and John Mackenzie from his law firm. As soon as they sat down, Hardy handed them the summons and explained the entire situation in detail, including the casino's operation model and the proxy company's circumstances.
He knew he couldn't withhold any information from his lawyers. If they didn't have a full understanding of the situation, it would be detrimental to the litigation process. If the opposition presented evidence that the lawyers were unaware of, they would be at a significant disadvantage.
That's why it's best to have lawyers you trust completely.
After hearing Hardy's explanation, Ross Beck said, "Boss, based on what you've described, it's clear that this matter can't be traced back to Hardy Hotels or to you personally. You can rest assured on that point."
