The wife of billionaire Isaac Perlmutter sued the well-known New York law firm Kasowitz Benson Torres LLP for what she called frivolous claims made against the couple in their decade-long spat with a neighbor at a swanky Florida condominium complex.
Attorneys at the law firm -- founded by prominent litigator Marc Kasowitz -- spent years unsuccessfully trying to prove Laura Perlmutter and her husband, head of Walt Disney’s Marvel unit, used a hate-mail campaign to tarnish the reputation of millionaire Canadian businessman Harold Peerenboom in a feud over tennis courts, according to the lawsuit.
