California Public Employees’ Retirement System, the biggest U.S. public pension fund, is trying to ban a law firm from representing a creditor in the bankruptcy of the city of San Bernardino.

CalPers, as it’s known, accused the law firm of Winston & Strawn LLP of being “deceptive” by hiring several key lawyers who had been working for the pension fund in the bankruptcies of the cities of San Bernardino and Stockton, California.
