Societe Generale's case against Goldas was ultimately dismissed, prompting the bank to accuse Clifford Chance of negligence.
Clifford Chance applied to London's High Court for a declaration that it was not liable to Societe Generale for any alleged negligence or breach of duty.
"The dispute concerns whether or not an English firm of solicitors were negligent in their conduct of English law litigation in the English High Court," the judge said.
Clifford Chance and Societe Generale declined to comment.
