Arent Fox has been pulled into a $20 million wrongful death suit filed by the wife of a Washington lawyer who was found stabbed to death in the home of one of the firm’s former partners.

Lawyers for Katherine Wone have asked a District of Columbia Superior Court judge to enforce a subpoena for e-mail and other documents that former Arent Fox partner Joseph Price created while at the firm. Price has refused to permit Arent Fox to release those documents, citing various privileges including attorney-client and spousal privilege.
