Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld on Tuesday reiterated its eagerness to patch things up with a former client whose CEO was allegedly taken advantage of by a former firm lawyer.
At the same time, the firm’s 44-page answer to the legal malpractice lawsuit filed by Future Media Architects throws up a host of affirmative defenses to the company’s claims. Most notably, Akin Gump pins blame on a former senior counsel who previously told ALM that her conduct on the case was being mischaracterized.
