Duane Morris Non-Equity Partner Lawsuit Escalates With Forum Shopping And Witnesses
Briefly

Duane Morris is seeking to relocate the lawsuit to San Diego to better facilitate witness testimony, claiming Garland's job performance was unsatisfactory, which could impact her compensation.
Garland has characterized the firm's efforts as a 'smear campaign,' suggesting that the testimony aimed at justifying her underpayment may not be purely reflective of her performance.
Even if Duane Morris successfully argues against allegations of underpayment, the court could still rule that their partnership structure may contravene state law, opening a broader legal dispute.
