Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, moved to be relieved as counsel for defendants Grupo Salina Telecome, S.A. DE C.V and Grupo Salina Telecome II, S.A. DE C.V. because the client was determined to pursue a course of action with which Paul Weiss had a fundamental disagreement.
Granting the withdraw motion, Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Andrea Masley held that Grupo terminated Paul Wiess to avoid payment of a $20 million judgment, finding that there was no breakdown in communication.
