Connell Foley partner Andrew C. Sayles and associate Omar D. Arnouk co-authored the article “Anticipated Supreme Court Ruling Will Have Professional Liability Implications for Creditor’s Rights Attorneys,” which was published in the March 21, 2017 issue of the DRI newsletter, The Voice. The article discusses the matter of Midland Funding, LLC v.
