Former Gardner Carton & Douglas partner Steven L. Loren, who pleaded guilty to a criminal felony act over the representation of a firm client, left the firm in advance of its merger with Drinker Biddle & Reath in 2007.
But that didn’t stop Drinker Biddle’s name from appearing on a lawsuit filed last month against Loren, Gardner Carton and several others who the plaintiffs allege were involved in a kickback scheme to sell property of a Chicago university to members of the scheme despite higher offers coming from the plaintiff.
