The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit has revived legal malpractice and civil conspiracy claims against Miller & Martin, ruling that the trial court erred in tossing out the claims, which were assigned to an investment group as part of its settlement with a failed tech startup.

The appellate panel, however, upheld dismissals by Judge Mark Cohen of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia of claims for fraudulent concealment and aiding and abetting a breach of fiduciary duty.
