The gloves are off again in a dispute between legal recruiting giant Lynn Mestel of Mestel & Co. and a former recruiter for her subsidiary HIRECounsel D.C. Last year, Mestel sued Richard Thuemmler and his new employer, Legal eStaffing, in federal court over a noncompete clause. Thuemmler countersued. In late July, the parties agreed to dismiss the case and enter a confidential settlement agreement -- but on Aug. 9, Mestel moved to reinstate the lawsuit. Thuemmler's lawyer says it's just "buyer's remorse."
