The Ninth Circuit Court has confirmed a federal district court decision, determining that the law firm Rosette LLP did not engage in what was purportedly false advertising to persuade the Quechan Tribe. Specifically, the allegations revolve around the supposed manipulation by Rosette to get the Quechan Tribe to dismiss Williams & Cochrane LLP as their legal representation, just as a promising gambling contract was on the brink of being formalized.
Rosette’s victory in court, therefore, affirms their innocence in the claims made against them. The case, however, underlines the larger conversations surrounding legal ethics, particularly in the realm of law firms dealing with tribe representations and the overarching issues attached to lucrative contracts.
