SAN FRANCISCO Blum Collins has edged out Outten & Golden to serve as class counsel for former Howrey employees who claim they did not get enough warning from the now-defunct law firm before they lost their jobs.

U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Dennis Montali on Friday certified a class of former Howrey employees, appointed Blum Collins as class counsel and named two of the Los Angeles-based firm’s clients, Gail Adams and Rami Dalal, class representatives. Blum Collins is bringing forth claims stemming from the federal and state versions of the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, which require certain employers to notify their employees of mass layoffs at least 60 days in advance.
