Jonathan Wolfert, who heads Seyfarth Shaw’s New York litigation department, has brought suit against his former law partners and their firm, Kaplan Landau, claiming they are obligated to pay his share of assets and profits from their prior firm.
Wolfert joined Kaplan Thomashower & Landau (KTL) as counsel in 1991 and became a partner two years later. In 2008, Wolfert withdrew from the partnership and joined Seyfarth Shaw as a partner. “There was no agreement that KTL would continue other than for the purpose of winding up,” Wolfert said in court papers in Wolfert v. Kaplan Landau, 650442/2014.
