Akerman is facing a malpractice lawsuit from a business associate of the late Miami Beach corporate raider Victor Posner who claims the law firm gave “negligent and reckless” legal advice to a court-appointed overseer of his estate.

A complaint filed April 10 in Miami-Dade Circuit Court pits Brenda Nestor against the law firm over its representation of Philip von Kahle, a lawyer and broker with Fort Lauderdale estate planner Moecker & Associates. Von Kahle took over from Nestor in 2015 as the curator of Posner’s estate.
