Law Offices of Gilbert & Marlowe v. Kurtz
In this case we affirm a money judgment based on an employment contract between an associate attorney and her law firm, the gravamen of which was that the law firm would pay the associate a commission of 50 percent of any new business income received by the firm attributable to the associate independent of the firms advertising. We affirm because the judgment is limited to awarding the associate half of all new business income received during the associates tenure with the firm, or income received from a client who specifically agreed to the 50 percent commission arrangement after the attorney was fired. However, before we can explain why Court affirm the judgment, we must, because it involves this courts jurisdiction to consider this appeal in the first place, go into some considerable detail concerning the question of appealability. In the process of dealing with appealability, we will also set forth most of the basic facts and history of the case.
