UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA

Richmond Division

In re: Case No.

LeClairRyan PLLC,1 19-34574-KRH

Debtor Chapter

7

TRUSTEE’S LIMITED OBJECTION TO MOTION REQUESTING AUTHORIZATION 

TO SEAL FINAL APPLICATION OF FOLEY & LARDNER LLP, AS SPECIAL 

COUNSEL TO THE TRUSTEE, FOR APPROVAL AND ALLOWANCE OF 

COMPENSATION AND REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENSES INCURRED FOR

THE PERIOD FROM JANUARY 30, 2020 THROUGH JULY 31, 2023

Lynn L. Tavenner, Trustee, and not individually but solely in her capacity as the Chapter 

7 trustee (in such capacity, the “Chapter 7 Trustee” and/or the “Trustee”) of the bankruptcy 

estate (the “Estate”) of LeClairRyan PLLC (“LeClairRyan” and/or the “Debtor”), in the abovereferenced Chapter 7 case (the “Case”) hereby files this limited objection (the “Objection”) to the 

Motion Requesting Authorization to Seal Final Application of Foley & Lardner LLP, as Special 

Counsel to the Trustee, for Approval and Allowance of Compensation and Reimbursement of 

Expenses Incurred for the Period from January 30, 2020 through July 31, 2023, ECF No. 1958, 

(the “Sealing Motion”) and, in support thereof, states as follows:

In its Sealing Motion, Foley & Lardner LLP (“Foley”) seeks to file under seal its Final

Application For Compensation of Fees and Expenses of Foley & Lardner LLP as Special 

Counsel to the Trustee, For Approval and Allowance of Compensation and Reimbursement of 

Expenses Incurred For the Period From January 30, 2020 Through July 31, 2023, ECF No. 

1960, (the “Foley Final Fee Application” and/or the “Application”) on the basis that the 

Application contains factual information related to an action against ULX Partners, LLC and 

UnitedLex Corporation (collectively, the “ULX Entities”) and a related settlement (the “ULX 

Settlement”). 

The Trustee appreciates the precautions that Foley has taken as well as Foley’s desire to 

comply with this Court’s order of August 26, 2022, ECF No. 1562 (the “ULX Sealing Order”). 

which required that certain items related to the ULX Settlement remain under seal. Specifically, 

this Court required that scandalous and confidential mediation subject matter remain sealed. 

However, pursuant to the ULX Sealing Order, other items were unsealed given that the same 

contained neither scandalous nor confidential mediation subject matter. In fact, pursuant to the 

ULX Sealing Order, Foley’s objection to the ULX Settlement, and all exhibits thereto, were 

unsealed, as was the Supplemental Declaration of Lynn L. Tavenner, Trustee, ECF No. 1387. 

Having reviewed the Foley Final Fee Application, the Trustee is unclear as to what, if 

any, of it would be covered by this Court’s ULX Sealing Order as being either scandalous or 

confidential mediation subject matter. The Trustee appreciates that there is a strong presumption 

and public policy in favor of public access to court records. The Trustee desires a policy of open 

inspection that is fundamental to the bankruptcy system to avoid the suggestion of impropriety. 

As such, to the extent the Application contains neither scandalous nor confidential mediation 

subject matter, the Trustee desires for the same to be filed on this Court’s docket with public

access to the same.2

WHEREFORE, the Trustee objects to Foley’s Sealing Motion to the extent the Foley 

Final Fee Application contains neither scandalous nor confidential mediation subject matter as 

determined by this Court. .
