The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has agreed to consider overturning 26-year-old precedent that bars legal malpractice claims following a settlement, absent an allegation of fraud.

The justices granted allocatur in McGuire v. Russo on June 6, agreeing to hear arguments over whether the court should reverse course on its own 1991 decision in Muhammad v. Strassburger, McKenna, Messer, Shilobod & Gutnick.
