Just in case you may be suffering from a “Perry moment” and cannot recall some of those interesting but cognitively illusive decisions from 2011 concerning law firms and law firm partners, our November column (our last column of 2011), as in prior years, addresses legal developments affecting law firms and their partners in 2011.

This year saw interesting decisions and actions in New York state and federal courts which addressed issues affecting law firms in the bankruptcy context, challenged the ban on non-lawyer investors in law firms, applied res judicata to limit duplicative claims in law firm partnership disputes, construed law firm agreements concerning amounts owing to former partners, and applied CPLR 3213 in the law firm context.
