Wolf Block and a number of former partners are seeking a stay of a legal malpractice lawsuit brought against them by car dealership owner Alan Potamkin over the firm’s drafting of a prenuptial agreement.
Potamkin is in the midst of a divorce action in Florida in which the validity of the prenuptial agreement has been brought into question. He entered a tolling agreement with Wolf Block to toll the statute of limitations while his attorneys as well as lawyers for Wolf Block attempted to enforce the prenuptial agreement in the divorce action. When the Florida judge denied summary judgment on the issue and ruled discovery of assets should continue, Potamkin filed the complaint in the malpractice case in Philadelphia Common Pleas Court.
