In a recently filed suit alleging criminal conspiracy to drive a former client into bankruptcy, Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd is seeking up to $40 million in actual and punitive damages from global communications giant Avaya Inc. and its lawyers at national intellectual property firm Banner & Witcoff. The suit also names two of Robbins Geller’s former clients, vTRAX Technologies Inc. and vTRAX Technologies Licensing, as defendants.

“This is a case of zealous advocacy crossing the line into illegal conspiracy,” says the complaint, filed Oct. 4 in Fulton County Superior Court by Atlanta attorney Matthew S. Harman on behalf of Robbins Geller. The firm, which has a five-lawyer Atlanta office, represented vTRAX Technologies Licensing in a patent litigation case against Avaya until the suit was dismissed without prejudice earlier this year.
