Weil, Gotshal & Manges has moved for summary judgment in a legal malpractice suit by a former bankruptcy client. The National Benevolent Association, one of the largest non-profits ever to file for bankruptcy, sued Weil Gotshal in 2005, claiming the firm pushed it into a "disastrous" Chapter 11 filing rather than exploring a negotiated settlement with creditors. In last week's motion, Weil Gotshal said the group's claims were based on "nothing more than speculation, conjecture and surmise."
