Pastore LLC was recently retained by the plaintiff in a long-running dispute among members of a private equity firm. The case was initially filed in 2013 and resulted in a March 2018 jury verdict in plaintiff’s favor, with two appeals to the Connecticut Supreme Court following the jury trial. Pastore was retained to succeed Day Pitney LLP after it came to light that a former Connecticut Supreme Court Justice who heard the Supreme Court appeal, and who is now a Day Pitney partner, worked on the matter, resulting in defendants’ motion to disqualify Day Pitney and for other relief. Pastore successfully objected to the defendants’ motion for order that would have unduly punished the plaintiff, including a request that would have prevented Day Pitney from facilitating the transition of the matter to Pastore. The case is scheduled to be retried before a jury in November 2026.
