In case you’ve missed it, we’ve had our eyes on the Middle District of California where a fascinating and rare disqualification scrum involving a Fortune 100 company and an Am Law 50 law firm has broken out. 

The Coca-Cola Co. last month filed a motion seeking to disqualify a team of litigators from Paul Hastings from representing SuperCooler Technologies, a refrigeration company that claims Coke misappropriated trade secrets and breached contracts aimed at developing products to rapidly chill soda and develop an in-container slush product. Coke and its lawyers at Shook, Hardy & Bacon claim that despite the fact that Paul Hastings has represented the company for years, including in a sensitive human rights matter, the firm did not give the company a heads up that it hired a team of litigators from Cahill Gordon & Reindel led by partner Bradley Bondi, who brought the SuperCooler matter to the firm with them.
