Description

Drinker Biddle represents accountants in securities litigation, malpractice claims, other sorts of litigation and administrative proceedings. Our clients include large accounting firms, smaller firms, and individual accountants.

Our recent professional liability representations of accounting firms and accountants include:

  • An accounting firm that resigned mid-audit. The firm's client sued, claiming that the resignation destroyed the client's business. We first forced the claim to arbitration pursuant to an alternative dispute resolution provision in the engagement letter. We then represented the accounting firm in a twenty-six day trial, staged over sixteen months.
  • A firm in a suit brought by the Commissioner of Insurance of the State of Vermont, seeking to recover damages for a failed insurance company, asserting that the accountants should have concluded that the insurance company was insolvent.
  • A firm in a suit brought by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, as the liquidator of a failed private bank.
  • A Canadian Chartered Accountant in a federal RICO suit filed in Delaware Chancery Court.
  • Malpractice claims stemming from accounting advice related to complex structured transactions involving special purpose entities.
  • A large accounting firm in a malpractice suit brought by a disgruntled "tax" client.
  • The same firm in a malpractice suit brought by a client who claims that the firm should have uncovered an embezzlement by its corporate controller.
  • A firm in connection with claims by a class of purchasers of stock in a failed Canadian gold refiner. Plaintiffs claimed that the auditors should have discovered the fraud.
  • Another firm against a claim that the accountants gave improper tax shelter advice to the executive officer of a Fortune 500 company.
  • A firm in a proceeding to determine whether the accountants would be permitted to continue to practice before the SEC.
  • A firm with respect to claims by the Resolution Trust Corporation that the accounting firm should be held responsible for losses resulting from the failure of one of the largest savings and loan institutions in the United States.
  • A firm before the New Jersey Casino Commission to obtain necessary approvals to audit an Atlantic City casino company.
