A federal judge in Philadelphia agreed to stay proceedings in a fight between Radnor, Pa.-based Airgas and its former law firm Cravath Swaine & Moore until Delaware’s Chancery Court decides whether the law firm should be enjoined from representing Airgas competitor Air Products & Chemicals in its bid to take over Airgas.

Airgas also alleges Cravath was working on financing deals with Airgas at the same time it was advising Air Products in the transaction.
