Several partners of the New York-based legal firm, Abelman Frayne & Schwab LLP, are under spotlight as the South American intellectual property law firm, Marval O’Farrell Mairal, is pressing charges against them. As per the lawsuit, the Argentinian firm asserts the partners to be liable for a debt exceeding $170,000. This amount stems from IP services that Marval O’Farrell Mairal alleges to have provided but not been compensated for.
Hovering over such a substantial debt, the lawsuit was filed on a Tuesday in a New York state court according to Law360. It remains to be seen how this case unfolds and what impact it might have on the involved parties and the broader legal sphere.
