Friday the 13th brought bad news for Becker & Poliakoff, which was named in a multimillion-dollar malpractice suit by a powerful Chinese conglomerate.

The firm and attorney Pamela Anselmo, who left the law firm in 2014, are being sued by Tangshan Ganglu Iron & Steel Co. Ltd., which claims sloppy legal work by Becker & Poliakoff helped cost it at least $140 million on its failed redevelopment of Plantation’s shuttered Fashion Mall property.
