A long-running lawsuit against Greenberg Traurig and its former partner Leslie Corwin over claims they defended a hedge fund manager based on a fabricated document has come to a close, according to court papers.
James Melcher, an investment manager, claimed Corwin and his former firm deceived the court by using fake paperwork to defend Melcher's onetime business partner Brandon Fradd in an underlying suit Melcher filed over $6.5 million in profits he said he was owed.
Melcher settled with Fradd for $5 million, but his follow-up case against Greenberg spanned nearly 12 years. The parties were finally scheduled to go to trial this spring on claims that Corwin and his former firm had violated Section 487 of New York Judiciary Law, which bars attorney deceit.
