Troutman Pepper Hamilton & Sanders was hit with a malpractice suit Wednesday in New York by a former client, who claims that the firm’s alleged subpar representation, inadequate communications, and a crucial conflict of interest resulted in the client facing a combined $60 million in liability dispersed across two construction cases.
The suit, filed in New York County Supreme Court by Barclay Damon and Rottenstrich Farley Bronstein Fisher Potter Hodas on behalf of client Judlau Contracting, claims that Troutman Pepper and construction litigation partner Frank Cara failed to properly investigate claims against the company and consequently offered ill-informed defenses on its behalf in two cases.
