A New Jersey appeals court granted a motion to disqualify Lowenstein Sandler from representing one of the executors of the estate of a pharmaceuticals executive.

The appeals court overturned a ruling denying a motion by Angela Krivulka to disqualify Lowenstein Sandler from representing an attorney from the firm, Michael Lerner, as co-executor of the estate of Krivulka’s late husband, Joseph. But the panel also affirmed a lower court ruling removing Krivulka from her post as co-executor.
