Proskauer Rose Legal Malpractice Case in Florida
Law.com reports that the Proskauer Rose legal malpractice case continues, but that a discovery dispute over deposition documents has been decided in Proskauer's favor."Proskauer Rose will not be required to turn over internal working papers in a legal malpractice suit filed by Boca Aviation, the 4th District Court of Appeal ruled Wednesday.

Documents used to prepare a Proskauer partner for his deposition are protected by attorney-client and work-product privilege since he did not refer to them during questioning, the appellate panel ruled.

The Boca Raton law firm challenged an order by Palm Beach Circuit Judge Diana Lewis requiring production. Judges Barry Stone, Mark Polen and Larry Klein overturned her order in a unanimous, unsigned opinion. "
