An attorney recruiting firm has leveled a $100 million lawsuit against Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith, claiming that the law firm squeezed it out of a placement deal last summer.

CB Legal Search LLC contends that it helped orchestrate an insurance practice group’s move in July from Chicago’s Bollinger, Ruberry & Garvey to Los Angeles-based Lewis Brisbois but was cut out of the deal by the law firm.
