Peter Brant lawsuit claims legal firm's malpractice cost him '$76 million'

摘要

White Birch Paper owner Peter Brant is suing the law firm that handled the sale of one of his companies as part of a debt reorganization plan, claiming its malpractice cost him tens of millions of dollars. The filing in Superior Court in Stamford, CT, claims unspecified damages from New York-based Shearman & Sterling and one if its partners. Brant's White Birch Paper — the second largest newsprint maker in North America based on capacity — and his separately owned SP Newsprint company both filed for Ch 11 bankruptcy protection in 2010.
