In a $30 million dispute over an alleged conflict of interest, Morgan, Lewis & Bockius contends it never admitted to allegations lodged by its former client, Towers Watson Delaware.

Towers has alleged that Morgan Lewis represented another company, Meriter Health Services, and assisted Meriter’s separate counsel in suing Towers. Towers moved for judgment on the pleadings last month, arguing that Morgan Lewis has admitted or “must be deemed to admit” that it knew there would be a conflict between Meriter’s and Towers’ interests, and that the firm never informed Towers of the conflict.
