Soupman Inc., a company that licenses the name made famous by the sitcom “Seinfeld,” filed for bankruptcy on June 13 in Delaware, just weeks after its chief financial officer was arrested for tax evasion.
The debtor, now led by former Dentons and McCarter & English lawyer Jamieson Karson, has retained Polsinelli for outside counsel as it pursues a potential sale in Chapter 11. But some other large law firms will come up empty as a result of Soupman’s insolvency, not unlike customers that once visited Ali “Al” Yeganeh’s famous soup seller, only to be told, ” No soup for you!“
