"Napoli Shkolnik v Heather Palmore & Palmore" - Law Firm Sues Its Own Lawyer for Alleged Quiet Quitting
Working remotely creates opportunities for alleged mischief.
Yesterday plaintiff law firm Napoli Shkolnik filed a lawsuit against one of its own lawyers Heather Palmore and her law firm Palmore. Abovethelaw makes available a copy of the complaint "Napoli Shkolnik v Heather Palmore & Palmore."
Essentially, represented by Offit Kurman, the plaintiff alleges that the lawyer neglected her duties - that is, quiet quitting - to operate her own law firm from her remote setting. Also, she allegedly competed with her employer's firm. The accusations range from unjust enrichment to breach of contract.
In response the defendant, represented by Wigdor law firm (the same one representing "Guzel Ganieva v. Leon Black" and "Brian Flores v NFL"), contends this: It is retaliation in anticipation of her public contention of discrimination. She is planning to file her own lawsuit.
Meanwhile, there is the old busness issue of employers' negative assessment of investment of off-duty time in other income-producing ventures. In addition, co-workers can feel resentment. Smart players know to keep those under wraps.
UPDATE:
Palmore, who is Black, did file a lawsuit against Napoli Shkolnik for discrimination. Here are more details from Reuters Legal.
