A Delaware judge has denied a request by Dow Chemical Co. (DOW)
attorneys to disqualify Rohm & Haas Co.'s (ROH) law firm
Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen And Katz from conducting discovery against
Dow, The Associated Press reported Thursday. Rohm sued Dow in
Delaware Chancery Court to force completion of Dow's $15.3 billion
purchase of Rohm. Dow attorneys argued that Wachtell had an ethical
conflict in representing Rohm & Haas in its lawsuit because the
firm had represented Dow in the past on issues similar to the
present litigation. The Delaware court ruled however that it wasn't
convinced that allowing Wachtell to continue would prejudice the
trial set to begin March 9.
