Two former Edwards Wildman Palmer partners who sued the firm amid a heavily publicized dispute over compensation and the alleged actions of Edwards Wildman’s former managing partner have had their complaint sent to arbitration.
Delaware Chancellor J. Travis Laster ruled Friday that the state’s Chancery Court was not the proper venue in which to consider the suit filed in January by Lawrence Cohen and Jay Rosenbaum. In their complaint, Cohen and Rosenbaum accused Edwards Wildman of denying them pay and status due to former managing partner Walter Reed’s alleged affair with Cohen’s estranged wife Laurie Hall, the onetime cochair of the firm’s private client practice.
