Husch Blackwell is facing a $325,000 legal malpractice suit in New York federal court, in which a former client says that an international trade partner went overboard on a filing that allowed the U.S. to collect duties on imported wood furniture.
Plaintiff Wego Chemical Group Inc. said in a complaint filed Monday that while it instructed Washington, D.C.-based Husch partner Jeffrey Neely to file a motion that would allow the liquidation of 24 specific entries of products it was importing into the country, he ultimately crafted a motion addressing all of the company’s entries over a one-year period.
