Hundreds of people could be jobless should a planned closure of a Union County law firm take place, according to a report on NJBiz.com.

Zucker, Goldberg & Ackerman LLC filed a WARN notice with the state Department of Labor and Workforce Development saying 289 employees could be put out of work, the report said.

The Mountainside firm specializes in bankruptcy and eviction, the report said. The law firm said it's not profitable enough to continue operating.

Companies planning mass layoff or facility closings are required to give notice, per WARN (Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act).
