The business divorce between two equity partners of Napoli Bern Ripka Shkolnik heated up Wednesday when partner Marc Bern requested emergency measures to terminate the authority of his partner, Paul Napoli, to access funds.

Bern also asked that Napoli be removed as managing partner of the firm and be held in criminal contempt for “willfully violating” orders from the court and a court-appointed receiver of the partnership, former Nassau County Justice Ira Warshawsky. (NYLJ June 8, 2015)
