Sidley & Austin at Risk of $40 Million Malpractice Claim

U.S. District Judge Orlando Garcia in February 2014 ruled that AT&T Inc. was ineligible to appeal a $40 million patent verdict in favor of Two-Way Media LLC because its attorneys from Sidley & Austin LLP and Davis Cedillo & Mendoza Inc. failed to file an appeal by the court’s deadline. Sidley & Austin LLP appealed what is essentially its malpractice based on the court’s electronic docket lacking full disclosure of the court’s order. But in a split panel decision, Federal Circuit refused to reverse the decision.
