Lawyers who were partners at Brobeck, Phleger & Harrison can attest that being a former partner of a defunct firm isn’t much fun.
Even less fun, for six of them: being the former partner of two dissolved firms. The Brobeck estate this week sued a half dozen of its former partners who’d gone on to work at Heller Ehrman. The suit is aimed at protecting any claims the Brobeck estate may have to profits the partners took from the bankrupt Brobeck to Heller. Heller, of course, is now in bankruptcy court itself.
