Epstein Becker & Green’s conduct tied to a legal malpractice case against Greenberg Traurig raises ethical concerns, but it doesn’t warrant Epstein’s disqualification in the case, a state judge has ruled.
Allen Roberts, an Epstein member who is represented by his firm, is suing Greenberg and its shareholder Leslie Corwin, an expert on partnership law, for legal malpractice. Greenberg Traurig claims Epstein Becker should be disqualified because of its dual role as co-counsel in an underlying arbitration proceeding and as opposing counsel in the malpractice case.
