Add Comment Question: My boss recently sold his law practice to another law firm. I have worked for 1 lawyer, 4 days a week, 8 hrs/day with one day off during the week. The new law firm may not abide by this schedule that I have worked for 18+ yrs, and they have indicated that I may have to work for multiple lawyers. Can they do this? Answer: Thank you for your question. If your boss has sold the assets of his law practice to another law firm, then this sale amounts to a legal termination of your employment. The question then becomes whether the new law firm is making a comparable job offer. If there are material changes to your schedule, then you may have an argument that the new job is not comparable. If that is the case, you could potentially turn down the job with the new law firm and pursue your old boss for severance. However, this is a nuanced analysis and you will need to speak with a lawyer before you make any decisions. It is strongly recommended that you contact us at the number below, and before you start working with the new law firm, before you take any actions.
