New Lawsuit Dishes On Biglaw Firm’s Alleged System For Overbilling

Earlier this week, a lawsuit was filed in the District of Utah’s Central Division by Chicora Life Center and its owner, Chicora Garden Holdings, against their former attorneys, K&L Gates. The billion-dollar firm faces allegations it used fraudulent techniques to boost its billables during a 2016 representation over a failed lease agreement. The complaint alleges the firm billed $1.6 million over six months, despite not being primary counsel on the matter.
