The high-stakes battle between former Bang Energy CEO Jack Owoc and the legal powerhouse Conrad & Scherer LLP has reached a boiling point. Owoc, ousted from the helm of Vital Pharmaceuticals Inc., has accused the firm of egregious legal misconduct, demanding a staggering $732 million in sanctions.
In a motion filed Tuesday in Broward County state court, Owoc, representing himself, alleged that the firm’s attorneys engaged in deliberate and repeated acts of litigation misconduct during their representation in a federal bankruptcy case. Among his most damning claims: the firm abandoned him mid-proceeding, violated ethical standards, and even hired a disbarred attorney to assist in the case.
A Legal Brawl with Millions at Stake
Conrad & Scherer fired the first shot in October 2023, suing Owoc and his wife, Megan, for an outstanding $139,000 in legal fees related to the Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings of Vital Pharmaceuticals. A one-day trial over the claims took place on Feb. 14, though a final ruling remains pending.
