Austin lawyer Pike Powers alleges in a new pleading that he didn’t get his 10 percent commission, even though his work landed a financial company a litigation support job with Fulbright & Jaworski worth “millions of dollars.”
The dispute began after Powers—who led Fulbright & Jaworski’s Austin office from about 1978 to 2004—alleged he worked for Duff & Phelps from 2010 to 2011, but the financial company failed to pay him promised commissions. Duff & Phelps denied the allegations and contended that Powers didn’t meet the conditions to get paid. But Powers’ amended complaint claims he did meet all the necessary conditions.
