Duane Morris Faces Class Action Over Partner Misclassification, Taxes and Expenses, Underpaid Attorneys

Duane Morris, a U.S. law firm, has been hit with a class action lawsuit alleging that it misclassified some employees as partners to shift tax and business costs onto them. The lawsuit contends that these non-equity partners were forced to pay part of the firm's taxes and expenses while being denied a share of the firm's profits. Additionally, the suit claims that the firm illegally withheld compensation and systematically underpaid female and non-white attorneys. The lawsuit also describes the misclassification as an 'income shifting' device and was initiated by a Black attorney.
