More than a year after former McAfee CFO Prabhat Goyal was convicted of corporate fraud, the antivirus software maker is headed back to court. This time it’s suing the law firm that represented its former finance chief for over-billing the company more than $6 million.
In April, McAfee filed a $12 million lawsuit that accuses the law firm Wilmer, Cutler, Pickering, Hale and Dorr, of overcharging the company in its defense of the former CFO. McAfee also charges the attorney firm, known as WilmerHale, with fraud, theft, negligence, and breach of fiduciary trust, according to court documents.

According to The Record newspaper, McAfee accuses the law firm of “shamelessly employing over 100 WilmerHale timekeepers in the feeding frenzy.”
The law firm fired back, filing a motion to dismiss the case last Thursday.
