The feuding equity partners of Napoli Bern Ripka Shkolnik have engaged Mark Zauderer, a partner at Flemming Zulack Williamson Zauderer, to mediate their partnership dispute and adjourned a contempt hearing that was scheduled Wednesday.
Paul Napoli and Marc Bern, equity partners in Napoli Bern and several related firms, have filed breach of contract claims against each other, alleging that the other’s conduct has harmed the partnership. In November, Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Eileen Bransten appointed former Nassau County Justice Ira Warshawsky as temporary receiver to oversee finances for the Napoli Bern firms.
