Former NFL players are settling a malpractice action against class counsel at McKool Smith, according to court papers filed Monday. In 2008, lawyers from McKool Smith helped Manatt, Phelps & Phillips represent the players in a $28 million settlement with the NFL Players Association over licensing and marketing revenue. The players later sued both firms, claiming that the McKool and Manatt blew the chance to win greater damages.
