It’s time for another roundup of law firm-related litigation and, like we found when putting together our last installment in May, there’s no shortage of cases to cover.
Aside from new suits being filed, a few firms in recent months have shelled out decent sums to make litigation go away. Greenberg Traurig and Quarles & Brady, for instance, collectively coughed up $87.5 million to resolve claims that they contributed to a $900 million Ponzi scheme perpetrated by two mortgage-industry clients. O’Melveny & Myers, meanwhile, agreed to pay $1.5 million to the trustee of bankrupt Southern California-based land developer Empire Land to settle conflict of interest claims, Law 360 reported.
