Philadelphia’s Duane Morris, which hired 24 lawyers from dissolving Wolf Block on Tuesday, has also hired the former firm’s 17-lawyer labor & employment practice.
The labor & employment group includes co-chairmen Jonathan Segal and James Redeker, and partners Caroline Austin, Jennifer Blum Feldman, Valentine Brown, Michael Cohen, Philip Garber, Linda Hollinshead and John Nixon.
The group was able to bring over all of its lawyers, save for its two most junior associates, as well as two paralegals, a business manager and at least four secretaries.
More than half of Wolf Block’s 290 lawyers have found new firms, only two weeks after partners voted to dissolve the 106-year-old law firm.
Founded in 1904 as Duane, Morris, Heckscher & Roberts, Duane Morris LLP employs more than 650 lawyers in 23 offices in the United States, London, Singapore and Vietnam. In addition to legal services, Duane Morris has independent affiliates employing approximately 100 professionals engaged in other disciplines.
