No. 00-1517.

267 F.3d 14 (2001)

CADLE COMPANY, Plaintiff, Appellant, v. Jan Richard SCHLICHTMANN, Defendant, Appellee.

United States Court of Appeals, First Circuit.

Decided October 4, 2001.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Scott L. Machanic, with whom Cunningham, Machanic, Celtin & Johnson, LLP, appeared on brief, for appellant.

Jan Richard Schlichtmann for appellee.

Before TORRUELLA, Circuit Judge, CAMPBELL, Senior Circuit Judge, and SCHWARZER, Senior District Judge.


SCHWARZER, Senior District Judge.

This appeal presents the questions of whether a security interest in the accounts receivable of a law firm — including an account arising from a contingent fee agreement — survives the firm's dissolution and the bankruptcy of one of its partners and, if it does, whether it attaches to a post-bankruptcy payment of the fee. We hold that it does and reverse the judgment.
