WASHINGTON – Attorneys with Patton Boggs are not just going after Chevron Corp. in their long-running fight over allegations that a group of Ecuadorians were harmed when Chevron polluted in the Amazon rain forest.
In a brief filed Monday in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, Patton lawyers say Chevron, and its attorneys with Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, have made “false and misleading extrajudicial statements about Patton Boggs…in the media, vexatious threats to seek to disqualify Patton Boggs based on meritless allegations of conflicts,” and further, sought judicial relief in a case in which Patton was not named as a party or appeared as counsel.
