Howrey LLP, Texas Patents and Legal Malpractice

Law Com reports that two former clients have sued Howrey LLP and its partner Michael S. Dowler over a failed deal to purchase a patent.  While normally this would not be of interest in a legal malpractice setting, the allegation is that the defendant demanded an 'under the radar" deal for 505 of the net profits, and then "breached his fiduciary duty by `misrepresenting the value of the patent.'"
