Although it may have been better for Greenberg Traurig to raise a certain defense earlier for an ex-client in bankruptcy litigation, the firm’s failure to assert the argument ultimately led to no harm, a Manhattan judge has ruled, dismissing a malpractice suit against it.
The malpractice claim against Greenberg Traurig, a firm with South Florida roots, was brought by NextEra Energy Inc., formerly known as FPL Group, a Sunshine State utility company that had hired the firm as defense counsel in bankruptcy litigation for Adelphia Communications Corp.
