A Philadelphia-based legal recruiter sued Baker, Donelson, Bearman, Caldwell & Berkowitz earlier this month for allegedly failing to pay a $350,000 fee related to its combination last year with Baltimore-based Ober Kaler.

Abelson Legal Search filed the case, which also seeks $1 million in punitive damages, on Aug. 10 in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Tennessee in Memphis, where Baker Donelson is based.
