Also named as defendants in this lawsuit are attorneys Robert I. Schwimmer, who represented Dyadic while at Jenkens & Gilchrist and later at Greenberg Traurig, and Norman and Jane Moscowitz of the Moscowitz & Moscowitz law firm. Dyadic's claims against its former outside legal counsel include breach of fiduciary duty and professional negligence and also civil conspiracy with respect to Greenberg Traurig and Mr. Schwimmer.
