“Phila. Law Firm Evades Disqualification Over ‘Questionable’ Document Procurement; Toll Brothers sought Horn Williamson’s disqualification from the litigation after discovering that the firm had improperly obtained information about confidential settlements the defendants had entered in similar cases in the past”: Aleeza Furman of The Legal Intelligencer has this report on a unanimous, non-precedential decision that a three-judge panel of the Superior Court of Pennsylvania issued yesterday.

I briefed and argued this appeal on behalf of the Horn Williamson law firm.

Update: In other coverage, Ryan Boysen of Law360 reports that “Philly Firm Dodges DQ Despite ‘Troubling’ Discovery Conduct” (subscription required for full access).
