A creditor of the Soupman business that is tied to the “Seinfeld” character has sued her former counsel, Vedder Price, for $3 million, alleging the firm bungled her claim to recoup a loan in the business.

Penny Fern Hart said she retained Chicago-based Vedder Price to recover on a roughly $1 million loan to the Soupman business. The Vedder shareholder on Hart’s matter was Michael Schein.
