DLA Piper’s public feud with an ex-client who alleged the firm overbilled him has been resolved quietly, a month after the client released headline-grabbing internal emails by DLA attorneys who discussed a "churn that bill, baby" approach to billing.
Adam Victor reached a settlement with the firm this week, said Larry Hutcher, a partner at Davidoff Hutcher & Citron who represents Victor. "The parties resolved their dispute to their mutual satisfaction in a confidential settlement agreement," Hutcher said yesterday. "The parties decided to settle in order to avoid the distraction and further expense of litigation." He declined to discuss the terms. Attorneys for the parties filed a stipulation of discontinuance yesterday.
