Bradley Arant law firm botched a 2018 arbitration, two lawsuits claim
August 29, 2024
Aug 29 (Reuters) – Two brothers have filed a pair of lawsuits against the U.S. law firm Bradley Arant Boult Cummings and one of its former partners, alleging they botched a 2018 arbitration proceeding that left the men on the hook for millions of dollars in damages.
In separate, opens new tab lawsuits, opens new tab filed Wednesday in Eureka, California federal court, Daniel and Mark Koetting said the 650-lawyer firm was unprepared for a September 2018 arbitration proceeding that was described as “an unmitigated disaster.”
The two brothers are seeking more than $20 million in damages from Bradley Arant and the former partner, S. David Smith.
A Bradley Arant spokesperson declined to comment. Smith left Bradley in April 2022 and is now an associate general counsel at Sunnova Energy, according to his LinkedIn profile.
Smith did not immediately respond to requests for comment, nor did a spokesperson for Sunnova.
The lawsuits alleged Bradley Arant and Smith committed several errors during their representation of the brothers in a contract dispute with two Native American tribal lenders.
The brothers alleged the law firm advised them to reject a proposed $2.5 million settlement offer from the lenders weeks before the arbitration proceeding.
Bradley Arant made no effort to find any experts or take any depositions and spent little time preparing both Koettings for questioning during the arbitration proceedings, the lawsuits alleged.
The arbitrator in December 2018 ordered the brothers and their consulting firms to pay more than $13.1 million in damages and attorney fees.

REMARK re ECF 53, 54 :

A dismissal for lack of personal jurisdiction does not adjudicate the merits and so should be without prejudice.
