Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
This case involves an attempt to disqualify Kenny Nachwalter, P.A., the respondents' attorneys, because of its conduct in dealing with documents which, although protected by their opponent, Atlas Air, Inc.'s, attorney client privilege, had been inadvertently delivered to one of Kenny Nachwalter's partners. While the trial court disqualified the particular partner who first received the documents, it did not do so with respect to the entire firm. Atlas Air, Inc. seeks certiorari review of the latter ruling. We grant the petition.
This determination is based upon our finding that the Kenny Nachwalter firm fell far short of satisfying the requirements of the controlling case of Abamar Housing & Dev., Inc. v. Lisa Daly Lady Decor, Inc., 724 So.2d 572 (Fla. 3d DCA 1998), rev. dismissed, 729 So.2d 918 (Fla. 1999) (Abamar II); see Abamar Housing & Dev., Inc. v. Lisa Daly Lady Decor, Inc., 698 So.2d 276 (Fla. 3d DCA), rev. denied, 704 So.2d 520 (Fla.1997) (Abamar 7); Marcus & Marcus, P.A. v. Sinclair, 731 So.2d 845 (Fla. 3d DCA 1999); and, of particular significance, that it took an unfair, "informational" advantage of its adversary in the process. Abamar II, 724 So.2d 572; Gen. Accident Ins. Co. v. Borg-Warner Acceptance Corp., 483 So.2d 505 (Fla. 4th DCA 1986); Double T Corp. v. Jalis Dev., Inc., 682 So.2d 1160 (Fla. 5th DCA 1996); Zarco Supply Co. v. Bonnell, 658 So.2d 151 (Fla. 1st DCA 1995). Disqualification of the firm as a whole is therefore required.
Petition granted; cross-petition denied.
. We agree with this ruling and therefore deny Kenny Nachwalter's cross-petition for certiorari.
