The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit affirmed a $30 million judgment against an insurance company after it refused to pay off a Houston law firm’s legal malpractice claim by pointing to exclusion in a liability policy that was so broad it covered “every single thing an attorney does or does not do, wrongful or not.”
The Fifth Circuit’s opinion in OneBeacon Insurance v. T. Wade Welch & Associates said that since the mid-1990s, T. Wade Welch & Associates represented Dish Network in over 400 different matters including a lawsuit brought against it by the Russian Media Group in Connecticut federal court.
