A firm’s reference on its website to an office in Exton, Pa., accommodating “its clients in Philadelphia and the surrounding Delaware Valley” does not show that the firm had enough business in the city to keep a legal malpractice case in Philadelphia courts, the Superior Court has ruled.
In the decision, which upholds a Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas ruling transferring the case to the Dauphin County Court of Common Pleas, the court decided that the website reference and the firm’s “infrequent” business in Philadelphia were insufficient to overrule the transfer.
