US judge denies Hermitage motion to recover $1.4 million from BakerHostetler in Russian tax fraud-related case

( March 30, 2018, 22:32 GMT | Official Statement) -- MLex Summary: US District Judge William H.

When BakerHostetler later represented Russian firm Prevezon in a US forfeiture case predicated on the tax fraud, Hermitage tried to have the law firm disqualified, and then sought the $1.4 million it spent in the effort.
