Illinois attorney disciplinary authorities are pressing allegations that a Chicago partner at a 75-lawyer intellectual property boutique falsified hundreds of expense reimbursement claims to his former firm.

The complaint, filed April 28 to the Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission, alleged that Thomas Wettermann, a former partner at McDonnell Boehnen Hulbert & Berghoff, submitted 382 false reimbursement claims—totaling $361,646.47—to the firm between January 2015 and December 2019.
