A law firm facing a malpractice suit has lost its bid to seek indemnification from DLA Piper for any resulting damages in the case, which centers on a lawyer who practiced at both firms. A New York judge ruled DLA Piper was not required under contract or common law to contribute to any judgment in the case against Eaton & Van Winkle and the lawyer, Alfred Ferrer III. A former client sued Ferrer and the Eaton firm in 2005 for alleged malpractice while representing him and his wife in a series of landlord-tenant actions.
