Bailey, Broder bump bellies
Article Abstract:
F. Lee Bailey and Aaron J. Broder are suing each other in the wake of the closing of their 24-year old aviation law practice. Bailey is seeking fees he says are owed him under the firm's partnership agreement, and also fees arising because Broder never purchased the malpractice insurance Bailey would have relied on in two past malpractice accusations. Broder is suing to recover fees he believes he is owed because he tried all of the firm's cases while Bailey did nothing but take a cut of the fees.
