Access Information Management Corp. is seeking a court declaration stating it is not obligated to provide client files left by the defunct Pittsburgh law firm Rothman Gordon, which has over 7,500 boxes in storage. The company claims it has no authority to handle these files aside from Rothman. Additionally, they highlight potential legal risks posed by attempting to sift through unlabeled boxes. Rothman Gordon is accused of owing over $91,000 in unpaid storage fees and has failed to legally dissolve, thereby retaining contractual responsibilities for the records.
Access Information Management Corp. argues it lacks the authority to deliver client files left by the defunct Rothman Gordon law firm, due to a contractual obligation.
The records management company stresses that rifling through poorly labeled boxes could expose them to legal liability.
Rothman Gordon has not filed articles of dissolution, remaining responsible for its debts and obligations including unpaid storage fees.
The initial contract stipulates that Rothman Gordon is the owner of the stored records, limiting Access Information Management Corp.'s ability to handle those files.
