Perplexity Watch posted an update
Proskauer says it did not drop Reddit to take on Perplexity, offering a direct response to the law firm’s role in Reddit’s AI-scraping case.
Why it mattersLaw360 reported the statement on 19 October. Its headline gives the firm’s position, but the available report excerpt provides no further explanation. This is a response, not a ruling on whether Proskauer has a conflict or whether Perplexity unlawfully scraped data.
Discuss: Should courts weigh the sequence of client departures most heavily, or focus on what lawyers knew and agreed to?

Perplexity Watch Update What changedProskauer Rose and Perplexity are urging a New York federal judge to let the law firm represent the AI company in Reddit’s suit over alleged data scraping, Law360 reports.
That adds a concrete procedural step to Proskauer’s response: the firm is not only disputing why it stopped representing Reddit, but is now asking the judge to permit the new representation.
The request is not a ruling. It does not establish that Proskauer has a conflict or that Perplexity unlawfully scraped data.
