Pa. High Court to Eye Law Firm Partnership Questions
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has agreed to hear arguments over whether two former partners of a now-defunct law firm could avoid personal liability for defaulting on a commercial lease -- while other partners were held personally liable -- because the two had signed the lease on behalf of the firm. The dispute started in 2000 when Titus & McConomy decided to wind down operations and leave its lease five years before it was set to expire.
