Attorneys for the Dewey & LeBoeuf estate and employees who were laid off in the firm’s final days have asked a judge to approve a $4.5 million settlement to resolve workers’ claims of improper termination notice.
Hundreds of employees were reportedly laid off shortly before Dewey filed Chapter 11 papers on May 28, 2012. A day later, Vittoria Conn, a former Dewey staff member who now works at Rosenberg & Estis, filed the class action, claiming that laying off employees without 60 or 90 days advance notice violated the federal and New York Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Acts. Conn sought to recover 60 days’ wages and benefits for workers in the New York and Washington, D.C., offices.
