Will Biglaw Sue This Restaurant Out Of Existence?

After dispensing with its previous neighbor, a Biglaw firm hopes for better relations with the new restaurant downstairs.

We’ve already welcomed a courtesy call from the new owner, and know that he is committed to best practices in maintaining the new venting system that was installed upon the resolution of the dispute with the prior tenant. We anticipate no problems, and are looking forward to welcoming our new Canadian neighbors and eating their chicken.

— Kathy King, spokeswoman for Steptoe & Johnson, describing the firm’s stand on The Chickery, the Toronto-based fried chicken franchise moving in downstairs. Steptoe & Johnson famously sued the burger joint that previously occupied the storefront next to the firm, complaining that the smell rendered Steptoe employees ill.
