Appeals Court Rejects Recruiter’s Suit Seeking Fee From Law Firm
A legal recruiter cannot collect a fee of nearly 0,000 from Blank Rome in connection with a merger the law firm first rejected and then completed with the assistance of a competing placement firm, a New York appeals court has ruled. The court concluded that a series of e-mails exchanged between Mark Bruce International and Blank Rome approximately 10 months before the Philadelphia firm joined forces with New York-based Healy & Baillie did not amount to an enforceable contract.
