"Mylan claims Disner and co-defendants committed legal malpractice as an advisor to Mylan on antitrust law. They claim his malpractice involved not fully investigating and or researching issues involving an exclusive supply agreement Mylan entered into with Profarmaco/GYMA; allowing Mylan to endanger itself regarding antitrust issues by entering into discussions with SST/FIS about a similar exclusive arrangement; and by, one an FTC investigation was launched, offering no advise on dealing with the risks involved but by instead underselling the FTC’s ability to seek damages.
