Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Jeffrey Oing rejected a request by oil tanker company Overseas Shipholding Group to decide a legal question early on in its legal malpractice suit against Proskauer Rose.
Overseas Shipholding Group (OSG) is suing Proskauer and four partners in Overseas Shipholding v. Proskauer, 650765/2014, claiming the structure of a 2000 credit agreement, drafted by Proskauer, imposed joint and several liability on OSG’s overseas subsidiary, OIN, for OSG’s liabilities.
