The trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying defendants’ motion to disqualify plaintiff’s outside counsel firm, Pillsbury, on the ground that Pillsbury had hired two attorneys who eight years before had been associates at Sedgwick and while there had represented some of the defendant insurers in other coverage disputes involving different insureds. Defendants’ evidence failed to show that the associates had worked for the defendant insurers as opposed to other members of the AIG group of companies. Also, the associates had had little contact with AIB personnel, but instead had handled discovery and other in-court work on the cases. Defendants also failed to show that any confidential information that the associates had gained was material to the issues in this case. Also supporting the denial was the harm that plaintiff would suffer if the attorneys who had represented it in the litigation for the last nine years were now disqualified.
