Attorneys at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld said last week that LBDS Holding Company admitted to fabricating evidence at the heart of a $25 million jury verdict. In its haste to flee the case, did Akin Gump reveal too much about its former client’s conduct?
In a pro se motion filed Tuesday, LBDS CEO Albert Davis wrote that he won’t oppose Akin Gump’s decision to withdraw from representing the company. But Davis wrote that he “does object to the inclusion of statements alleged to have been made by the company’s representatives in Akin Gump’s motion to withdraw, as the disclosure of those statements violates [LBDS'] attorney-client privilege.”
