David Huberman, a former nonequity partner at McDermott Will & Emery, has launched a lawsuit against the firm, asserting they owe him $104,166.67. He alleges this figure stems from a firm-wide pay increase for U.S. income partners in 2022 which he didn’t receive, despite the claims being filed in an Illinois State Court.
In the corresponding lawsuit, Huberman’s representation comes from the Garfinkel Group, based in Chicago. They detail his role as an income partner in the firm’s transaction practice. Huberman’s duties consisted notably of representing Israeli companies during their initial public offerings (IPOs) in the U.S.
Huberman, who is now a shareholder at Greenberg Traurig, insists that McDermott wrongly denied him a salary increase to $425,000. It remains to be seen how this case will unfold in court.
