That's what firm Chairman Jesse Jenner told lawyers and staff at a firmwide meeting in New York this week. Jenner said the meeting was called to dispel rumors that a merger was to take place within 10 days. "We've had preliminary talks with Ropes & Gray, but there's no deal," he said.

Commercial Division Update

George Bundy Smith, a former Court of Appeals judge, and Thomas J. Hall, partners with Chadbourne & Parke, write that the broad language of CPLR �3213 allows proceedings thereunder to be brought in cases that do not neatly fit the "prototypical" action on a negotiable instrument.

OQuinn Firm Slapped With Class Action

Litigation is a big stick for a lawyer like Houston's John O'Quinn, so when his firm was hit with a $70 million class action suit filed by disgruntled former breast-implant clients, O'Quinn didn't hesitate before pummeling the class action lawyers with a libel suit. O'Quinn and the class action lawyers signed a Rule 11 agreement that bars them from talking to reporters about either suit. It also bars all of them from talking to any former O'Quinn & Laminack clients about their breast-implant settlement.
