City Attorney seeks conflict waiver so law firm can defend city in injury suit
The firm also represents Metro, which the city is suing in two unrelated cases, so it needs the city's written consent.
A private law firm paid by an insurer would defend the city in a lawsuit brought by David B. Leichenger, even though it also represents Metro in two cases where the city has filed claims against Metro. City Attorney Hydee Feldstein Soto recommends the City Council approve the waiver and authorize her to sign it.
