Ex-Heller Employees Sue Former Partners
Former employees of Heller Ehrman sued at least 179 former partners on Friday, including former Chairman Matthew Larrabee, demanding they fork over million for the largest group of creditors in the defunct firm’s bankruptcy. Heller’s 800-plus former employees say they are owed accrued vacation and severance as guaranteed by the firm’s policies, the 60-day notice required by federal and state WARN Acts, and penalties for failure to give that notice.
