Am Law 200 firm Greenspoon Marder’s bid to escape a $520,000 suit brought by a document storage company that claimed it wasn’t paying its bills fell short last week, with a Manhattan judge calling the law firm’s argument that it had no contract with the vendor “unavailing.”

Even though Jacob, Medinger & Finnegan, a New York firm acquired by Greenspoon in 2016, had its name on the contract with Cityside, Greenspoon Marder continued to send documents to and from Cityside’s storage spaces after the acquisition and, until 2018, made payments on Cityside’s invoices, the complaint alleges.
