As was revealed early in the week, name partner Michael Hausfeld of Cohen Milstein sent notice to clients and colleaues that he had been abruptly expelled from the firm, via a note left on his office chair. No one is one the record with a specific reason why Hausfeld got the boot after almost fourty years of service (although various message boards are awash with speculation). Hausfeld has already retained representation and office space from Venable and is talking retribution against his former colleagues. He also passed a few words with the WSJ Law Blog about the road ahead. Needless to say, there has got to be a a rather large and thorny issue hiding behind all the bluster and BS.
