Bracewell & Giuliani has argued that it was unreasonable for the wife of one of its former clients now suing for malpractice to believe she had also been represented by the firm, particularly because she never signed an engagement letter.
In Sanford v. Bracewell & Giuliani, Bracewell was sued in the Bucks County Court of Common Pleas on Feb. 15 by Craig and Mary Jo Sanford, who allege the firm didn’t do enough to recover $12.5 million in lost proceeds of the sale of their business. Bracewell removed the matter to federal court the following month and its next filing was a motion to stay the matter pending arbitration.
