Just a few weeks after a malpractice claim against Nixon Peabody was allowed to go forward in New Jersey, a Philadelphia judge has allowed to continue a separate, but similar, malpractice action against the firm in Pennsylvania, denying its motion for judgment on the pleadings.
In Jan Rubin Associates Inc. v. Nixon Peabody LLP, Nixon Peabody said the former client waived its right to file a malpractice claim under Pennsylvania law because they entered a settlement agreement in the underlying action.
