Read on Nola that the partners voted to dissolve the firm.

18 offices and 160 employees… firms that size don’t just fall apart.

Someone here knows something…

Charging too much might be a factor?

Financial services which is their bread and butter has had massive consolidation over the last thirty six months so the income stream was definitely impacted nationally.

This is why rainmakers are paid so well. No clients. No $.

This is a legal earthquake.

You have to figure some of these offices will become new firms, but there are a shitton of highbrow lawyers wondering where their next meal is coming from.

I don’t have any inside scoop but when your dad started the firm and you leave, I can see a lot of business leaving with you.

Usually leads to merging up.

Wonder if the partners could not agree on a merger and some are going to go merge into different places.
