The National Benevolent Association, a church group that sued Weil, Gotshal & Manges last fall for allegedly steering it into a "disastrous" bankruptcy, is accusing the firm of withholding from discovery e-mail correspondence of the partner who led the Chapter 11 filing. To support its contention, the nonprofit pointed to a variance from the number of pages of e-mails it had received from other individuals in the case -- a discrepancy the firm attributes to partners' document archiving and retention habits.

The church group suing Weil, Gotshal & Manges for allegedly steering it into a “disastrous” bankruptcy is accusing the firm of withholding from discovery e-mail correspondence of the partner who led the 2004 Chapter 11 filing.
The St. Louis-based National Benevolent Association, which sued Weil Gotshal in bankruptcy court in Texas last fall, said in a motion filed Oct. 13 that the firm had failed to produce all the e-mails of partner Deryck Palmer, the lead lawyer in the group’s bankruptcy.
