James Toll, a 52-year-old partner fired by New Jersey's Sills Cummis & Gross, is alleging age bias in a suit seeking lost wages and the fair value of his partnership interest. The suit identifies Toll as an equity partner, but suggests he had no firm management role, raising the important issue of his employment status and protection under bias laws. That same issue was broached in the Sidley Austin case, where prior to settlement, an appeals judge decided that the nonequity partners were not "employers."

A 52-year-old partner fired by Newark, N.J.’s Sills Cummis & Gross is accusing the firm of age discrimination in a suit seeking lost wages and the fair value of his interest in the partnership.
James Toll, a partner since 1990, alleges in a complaint filed Nov. 4 in New Jersey’s Essex County that managing partner Robert Max Crane said in September 2006 that Toll was “not a right fit and should leave the firm.”
