A confidential settlement on Monday ended the trial of a suit charging that the firm of Ravin Sarasohn was destroyed by overagressive recruitment of its high-billing bankruptcy practice group by Lowenstein Sandler, New Jersey’s second-largest firm.

The case settled after three weeks of trial that was marked by dueling testimony over whether Lowenstein’s wooing of 31 lawyers and support staff in 2000 was aided by high-pressure tactics on associates and use of confidential financial data from Ravin Sarasohn.
