Debevoise & Plimpton has won dismissal of a lawsuit brought by an ex-client alleging a firm partner provided false testimony in depositions and court documents.

Candlewood Timber Group claimed partner Daniel Abuhoff falsely testified about a potential conflict of interest and his trial experience during Debevoise’s prosecution of a fee action against the timber company (NYLJ, July 8). Candlewood’s suit was filed in the midst of a drawn-out fee dispute.
