A former director a furniture business has filed a legal malpractice suit against Schulte Roth & Zabel, claiming the New York-based firm duped him while it drafted a 2015 agreement between him and his then-wife, leading him to incur more than $3 million in damages.

The plaintiff, Jordan Seaman, represented by Emery Celli Brinckerhoff & Abady, claims Schulte Roth failed to disclose a trustee relationship that created a “personal financial relationship” between a Schulte Roth partner handling the matter and his now ex-wife.
