There is a very interesting article in today's Legal Intelligencer about the legal battle between former Brobeck employees, who claim that they are entitled to 60 days' severance, and Morgan Lewis, which claims that it is not the successor to Brobeck. My take is that both sides have some valid arguments, though I believe that it is a bit disingenuous for Morgan to argue that the Brobeck collapse was all a big surprise. If memory serves, MLB watched (caused?)Brobeck wither on the vine then cherry picked the choice components.
