Sullivan & Cromwell Sued for Malpractice by Ex-Skadden Attorney
A former Skadden attorney is suing Sullivan & Cromwell for legal malpractice, claiming that the firm represented a client in a matter for which one of its partners had once been an arbitrator, in violation of ethics rules, reports Bloomberg Law.
The plaintiff, Andrew Delaney, claims that Sullivan & Cromwell acted “unlawfully” and “unethically” in the international arbitration matter, according to Bloomberg’s Melissa Heelan Stanzione.
“The Harvard Law School graduate’s complaint alleges that Sullivan & Cromwell partner James H. Carter chaired an arbitration panel that found in favor of Delaney’s clients, and the firm subsequently “proceeded to represent the losing party” to oppose enforcement of the award,” Stanzione writes.
