Q: If a lawyer for a corporate plaintiff insists on misrepresenting a claim of the corporation's Board of Directors
in Court through longstanding loyalty to the CEO, what sort of third-party challenge is available to the Board: e.g., "Plaintiff's Motion to Challenge the Standing of its own Rogue Counsel?" Obviously a malpractice suit offers a long-term remedy but what can be done real-time in the instant action? We would appreciate a few examples of this sort of pleading.
A:
If you are in a legal battle with a corporation and don't have your own counsel, you are really walking a risky path. I have seen people do this kind of pro se representation and end up getting absolutely wrecked with an attorney fee bill -for the other side- at the end of it.
You need to talk to a business lawyer ASAP.
