The lawsuit by Elliott Greenleaf against a former partner and Stevens & Lee — which had been increasing in its contentiousness — has been settled about two weeks after the parties had a daylong, court-ordered mediation session.

The parties cited a confidentiality clause in refusing to divulge the details of the settlement in Elliott Greenleaf v. Balaban , which was filed in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania in February. U.S. District Judge Timothy J. Savage dismissed the case with prejudice and maintained jurisdiction to ensure the settlement was enforced, according to a one-page order filed Thursday.
