Law firms tend to shy away from publicly airing grievances with clients, but that can be tough if a dispute lands in court. Last week, Patton Boggs unsuccessfully tried to keep a fee fight under seal in District of Columbia Superior Court.
The firm filed a breach-of-contract lawsuit against a former client, Keystone Global Co. Ltd., on June 24. Patton Boggs accused Keystone, a South Korea-based energy and mineral resources company, of failing to pay more than $925,000 in legal fees and other costs.
