The Superior Court has upheld a Philadelphia trial judge’s ruling that Saul Ewing Arnstein & Lehr and one of its partners cannot be sued for allegedly failing to ensure that a former client executed an amendment to his trust before he died.

In Estate of Philip F. Young v. Louis, the plaintiffs brought breach of contract and legal malpractice claims against Saul Ewing partner Robert Louis and the firm, which had represented plaintiff Brinton Young’s uncle, Philip Young, in trust and estate matters.
