A former partner at Katten Muchin Rosenman has initiated a $67 million legal action against the firm due to allegations of age discrimination. Stewart Herman, at 62 years old, filed the lawsuit, contending that Katten’s CEO, Noah Heller, and General Counsel, Michael Verde, started undermining his practice group before its elimination in 2023. Herman asserts that he was pressured to resign by the firm’s leadership, who allegedly cited concerns from the insurer about potential malpractice risks.
