   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  06-2209
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Riley and Shepherd, Circuit Judge]
   Civil case - contracts. Plaintiff was equitably estopped from pursuing
   claims for retainer fees defendant's former clients, now plaintiff's
   current clients, had paid defendant; defendant's partner, who had been
   a partner at plaintiff before he brought the clients to defendant, had
   informed defendant that sufficient work had been done in each case to
   consider the fees earned and distributable to the members of the
   partnership, and he could not now take an inconsistent position and
   assert the fees had not been earned; plaintiff could not disassociate
   itself from the actions of the partner.
