Kontras
Things seem to be spinning out of control for this firm under the guidance of current managing and sole shareholder David Tener in the wake of the recent departure of two partners, one of which was the firm's leading litigator and rainmaker over the past 10+ years. Surely, it's not good. One wondered whether the firm would be able to survive following the departure of half of the firm's staff after the announcement of poor profitability and financial concerns in 2019. These and other concerns followed in 2020. This included, among other things, a huge loss in a straightforward unfair competition matter primarily handled by the firm's senior attorneys for more than seven years. (See Newborn Bros. v. Albion Engineering Co., No. 12-2999, DNJ); and the precipitous August 28, 2020 entries of appearance by senior attorneys in several matters being handled solely by a junior partner. Poor micromanagement, succession issues (half of the firm is >70 yrs old), the paying off of former shareholders and other financial issues continue to plague the firm. There must be a toxic and uncertain clound surrounding this firm. It's the only conclusion that can be drawn after the significant departure of two well-regarded attorneys.
