Pace-O-Matic (POM), a Georgia-based skill games manufacturer, is in the midst of a lawsuit against former legal partner Eckert, Seamans, Cherin & Mellott, LLC (Eckert), claiming the firm also represented a Pennsylvania casino at the same time. The United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania ruled in favor of POM, allowing it to review Eckert’s privileged logs.
While POM and Pennsylvania casinos have battled for years about the legality of PA skill games, POM is fighting a separate battle, as well.
In a detailed press release, POM is alleging Eckert worked with a PA casino while representing POM. Eckert’s actions would be considered a conflict of interest.
