Ruling
Trustee's motion to employ special counsel was granted over objections since the special counsel qualified as a disinterested professional and the intended use of special counsel did not appear to harm estate assets or to raise res judicata issues as claimed.
Procedural posture
The trustee filed a motion pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 327(a) to employ special legal counsel to represent the trustee on behalf of the estate for the pursuit of certain tort and/or contract claims that was anticipated would have the effect of enlarging the estate of the debtor.
