Stradley Ronon Stevens & Young argued in a recent filing it is entitled to judgment on the pleadings in a malpractice case brought against it by Sovereign Bank.

The law firm said Sovereign successfully argued in a separate court action that the loan agreement Stradley drafted for it protected Sovereign’s security interest in a loan. The bank can’t now argue Stradley failed to draft an agreement that protected those interests, the law firm argued in its motion for judgment on the pleadings in Sovereign Bank v. Stradley Ronon Stevens & Young.
