The end of April meant the availability of Wolf Block's WARN Act filings across three states.

The filings, required by federal law when a company with more than 100 employees lays off at least 50 at one site, detail the numbers of employees affected by Wolf Block's March 23 vote to dissolve.

The largest group is out of the firm's Philadelphia headquarters where 235 people were laid off. The firm also reported 15 people were affected out of its Harrisburg, Pa., location.

The second largest group was across Wolf Block's two New Jersey offices. Between Roseland and Cherry Hill, 121 people were let go. Wolf Block's New York office reported 57 people were affected by the dissolution.

The total number of people affected according to the WARN filings is 428. There were no reports available for the firm's Norristown, Pa., office, which employed about 10 people, or the firm's Boston office, which had about 13 attorneys. Wolf Block had around 300 attorneys at the time of its dissolution and a reported 250 staff members.

The WARN filings for Pennsylvania and New Jersey show an anticipated close date of May 23. The New York filing shows a 14-day termination period beginning June 23 with a closing date of July 7.

Wolf Block said shortly after its dissolution vote that it would remain open for two months, which would serve as the notice period and severance. At the end of those two months, the firm would cease to practice law and would operate with a skeleton crew to wind down operations.

When adding up those affected by the layoffs, Flaster Greenberg labor and employment partner Michael Homans said equity partners would count as employees under the WARN Act in terms of meeting the threshold for the number of people working at the company and for the number affected by the layoffs. They would most likely not have a claim, however, in terms of bringing any suit for violation of the WARN Act, he said.
