G. D. Mathews & Sons Corp. v. MSN Corp.

MSN Corporation, doing business as Budd Foods (MSN), appeals from a Superior Court judge’s order allowing G. D. Mathews & Sons Corporation’s (Mathews’s) motion to disqualify Choate, Hall & Stewart (Choate) from acting as counsel for MSN in this action. On appeal, MSN claims that the judge’s allowance of Mathews’s motion to disqualify was improper because (1) Choate’s former representation of Mathews is not substantially related to the present litigation and (2) Mathews waived any potential challenge to Choate’s representation by failing timely to raise the conflict issue.1 We affirm the order.
