Facing claims that it breached its loyalty to a gambling device manufacturing client, Eckert Seamans Cherin & Mellott has conceded that it did not get informed consent before it began representing a casino that pushed to have the gaming company’s devices outlawed.
The law firm filed a stipulation Thursday in the case, Pace-O-Matic v.
