A move to dismiss a class-action lawsuit against Fenwick & West law firm, the former legal counsel for the defunct FTX, has been initiated. The law firm has denied allegations of misconduct levelled against them while providing FTX boss Sam Bankman (a former client) with legitimate legal services.
However, the law firm adamantly refutes these allegations and maintains that it has offered FTX regular, legitimate legal services. Sam Bankman, the former CEO of FTX, is accused of abusing the law firm’s counsel, and the legal advisor contends that Bankman-Fried should be held accountable for any claimed misbehaviour.
