An Illinois judge Thursday declined to issue a temporary restraining order that would have enjoined Duane Morris & Heckscher from employing 11 attorneys hired last month in Chicago. The allegation arose because plaintiff Jackson National Life Insurance Co. is suing Duane Morris for legal malpractice in Philadelphia, and the 11 new partners formerly worked for a Chicago law firm that represented Jackson National in litigation which now is the subject of the insurance company's legal malpractice lawsuit.

A Cook County Circuit Court judge yesterday declined to issue a temporary restraining order that would have enjoined defendant Duane Morris & Heckscher from employing 11 attorneys hired last month in Chicago.
Judge Dorothy Kinnard also told the plaintiff, Jackson National Life Insurance Co., that it faced an “uphill battle” to secure a preliminary injunction against Duane Morris on the grounds that its 11 new partners presented a conflict of interest.
