Lawyers for construction project managers in a court fight with the DeKalb County school system are trying to get King & Spalding bounced from representing the school system, accusing the firm of obstruction in a three-year civil dispute that touches on a major criminal case against former school officials.
Among the claims by lawyers for Heery International Inc. and E.R. Mitchell & Co. are that King & Spalding in October 2009 advised the then-DeKalb school superintendent to ask DeKalb prosecutors for a delay in their criminal probe of his office. The delay, Heery and Mitchell lawyers said, would have preserved the testimony of one of the school system’s witnesses against the companies, which are locked in a multimillion-dollar contract dispute.
