Ex-Milberg Attorney Faces High Hurdle In Bid To Sue Ex-Partners

San Francisco Managing Partner Tim Murphy was quoted in a March 20 Law360 article “Ex-Milberg Attorney Faces High Hurdle In Bid To Sue Ex-Partners.” The article discussed a former Milberg LLP attorney who is attempting to overturn an arbitration decision so that he can sue former partners brought down in a class action kickback scheme. Many noted in the article have deemed his case unlikely to prevail as it falls short of the high bar for judicial review. Tim agreed with the notion. "There has to be more than a mistake made by the arbitration panel. There has to be evidence they were corrupt or the arbitrators somehow exceeded their powers," said Tim. The case, as Tim said, "is a long shot at best.”
