A record label company has filed a malpractice suit against Gibbons; Troutman Sanders; and Baker & Hostetler, arguing it was prevented from recouping legal fees because a litigator who practiced at all three firms failed to properly keep billing records.

New York-based TufAmerica Inc. filed the suit against the three firms and Oren Warshavsky, an intellectual property and litigation partner now at Baker & Hostetler. Warshavsky practiced at Gibbons from 2001 to 2006 and then at Troutman Sanders from 2006 to 2008, before joining Baker & Hostetler, the complaint said.
