Southern District Magistrate Judge Gabriel Gorenstein dismissed a motion by Arent Fox to compel its former client to produce communications with replacement counsel.

The law firm has been sued in Windsor Securities v. Arent Fox 16-cv-01533 for legal malpractice by a former client after being retained to assist in disputes arising from Windsor’s financing of life insurance policies. Arent Fox partner Julius Rousseau III was retained by the company to provided general advice and representation in connection with the policies.
