Ruling
Law firm that previously represented co-owner of debtor LLC could represent trustee where co-owner did not hold adverse interest to estate.
Procedural posture
Appellants, a pharmaceutical corporation and one of its co-owners, challenged an order of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court authorizing appellee, a chapter 7 trustee of a debtor, to retain special legal counsel to investigate and possibly litigate claims by the debtor against appellants. Appellants argued that the law firm appointed as counsel to the trustee held interests adverse to the estate and was not disinterested.
