Reid Minty sues former partners

Autocratic fiefdoms die hard! As The Lawyer reported, Mr Reid has ‘sold’ Reid Minty’s commercial litigation business to Mcgrigors and is now a ‘consultant’ to Mcgrigors’ litigation department, while continuing to head up his personal injury cash cow RMPI LLP -(which in legal terms is presumably Reid Minty with a name change). One wonders whether McGrigors have started to get the jitters yet?! From what we hear, Reid used to use the weight of his litigation firm for his personal battles against all and sundry. This begs the question – is Mcgrigors acting for the emasculated Mr Reid / Reid Minty (R.I.P?) or RMPI LLP in the action against the ex- Reid Minty Partners and ProLegal et al and might that not throw up some potential conflicts? We are sure Mcgrigors and the legacy Reid Minty partners have dealt with the professional conduct issues this one seems to throw up - If not, we can rest assured that Addleshaw Goddard will offer to help them work this one through!
