Three laid-off Heller Ehrman employees have filed a class action complaint against the dissolving firm, asking for a jury trial over money they feel they should still be paid, reports The Recorder. The complaint, filed on Monday (20 September), proposes various classes, to potentially cover "hundreds" of staff and associates who have been or will be laid off since shortly after the firm's vote to dissolve. "Our clients and the putative class have served Heller Ehrman faithfully for years, and now Heller Ehrman has sent them packing without paying out what they owe," said Matthew Helland, the Nichols Kaster lawyer who filed the claim. The Nichols Kaster team also includes James Kaster and Paul Lukas, both of who work in the employment boutique's Minneapolis office.
