Wilson Sonsini Accused of Conflict of Interest in Client Case
NYT DealBook is reporting on a juicy one: Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, the storied Silicon Valley law firm, may be kept from defending a client owing to alleged conflicts of interest, including an ownership position in that client. At the heart of the clash is Yehoshua Segal, a former executive at the New York-based, venture-backed data management startup Varonis Systems, which Segal began suing for $10 million late last year. Segal says he was wrongly terminated after he blew the whistle on a number of compliance issues at Varonis, including securities violations -- a claim Varonis denies.
