It’s been a busy few months here at The Am Law Daily. But while one large law firm has dominated most of the headlines, others have gotten into their share of legal tangles as well.
We’ve already covered a few notable lawsuits involving law firms, including Kelley Drye & Warren settling a long-running dispute over its now-scrapped mandatory retirement policy, Edwards Wildman Palmer moving a compensation fight with a pair of former partners into arbitration, and Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobsen fending off a former secretary’s bias suit.
