Mariner Health Care Inc., the nursing-home operator, sued its former law firm for allegedly allowing $40 million from an asset sale to go to another client and trying to paper over the payment after the fact.
The money, from the $50 million sale of a medical-supply unit to Omnicare Inc. (OCR), wound up going to Rubin Schron, an investor who bought some of Mariners real estate through a company he controlled, according to a complaint filed Nov. 9 against the law firm, Troutman Sanders LLP, in Georgia state court in Atlanta. Mariner and Schrons company were both represented by lawyers who eventually joined Troutman Sanders, according to the complaint.
