Dewey & Leboeuf’s New York landlord has filed a suit against 450 of the defunct law firm’s former partners, alleging the individuals are liable for more than a million dollars in unpaid rent.

In a claim filed last Thursday (26 September), landlord 1301 Properties Owner LP alleges the firm’s former partners owe $1.6m (£1m) for rent due prior to the firm’s bankruptcy in April 2012.
