A court battle between Herbert Smith Freehills (HSF) and eight of the firm’s former partners who quit to join White & Case has ended, with HSF reaching a settlement with the departing group.
According to orders made in the Supreme Court of New South Wales, the claimants, a group of 167 current HSF partners represented by Michael Pryse, came to agreement with the defendants, a group of eight former HSF partners including key project finance partner Brendan Quinn.
