Finance Co. Asks 7th Circ. To Revive Suit Against Ex-Counsel
Law360 (January 15, 2021, 6:29 PM EST) The Seventh Circuit on Friday seemed skeptical of a commercial financing company s argument that a lower court should not have dismissed its claim that former legal counsel gave self-serving advice that led to penalties against the company s founder.
