Cozen O’Connor is accusing a partner’s ex-client of using a complaint against the firm to delay a multimillion-dollar construction law arbitration, after the former client alleged that a group of lawyers handled conflicts improperly when they joined the firm from Pepper Hamilton.

Mahoney Brothers, when it hired a group of construction lawyers from Pepper Hamilton. The group included two lawyers who had represented McNeil in an arbitration against Mahoney.
