U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 18-2172
and No: 18-2174
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis
[PUBLISHED] [Kelly, Author, with Colloton and Beam, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Attorneys' fees. The district court did not err in
determining that the plaintiff law firm was not owed any part of the
contingency fees in the case under a quantum meruit theory; the firm's
actions while lead counsel did not benefit the clients and it actually
harmed them by failing to meet critical discovery and expert disclosure
deadlines in the underlying litigation.
