MasterCard Seeks Disqualification Of Law Firm
The Twin Cities Pioneer Press reports that MasterCard is requesting the disqualification of Minneapolis law firm Robins, Kaplan, Miller & Ciresi from a group of antitrust suits "because one of the firm's partners investigated MasterCard while he was a Justice Department lawyer."
MasterCard claims that the partner, K. Craig Wildfang, gained confidential information about MasterCard during the Justice Department's investigation and therefore is barred by conflict of interest rules from representing retailers suing MasterCard, Visa International and their member banks over claims they illegally inflated credit card transaction fees.
