It’s official. After months of bleeding partners and rumors about dissolution, the partnership of Howrey has voted to dissolve the firm, effective March 15. According to a press release issued by the firm, a number of partners, associates and staff from the Houston office will join Winston & Strawn, while those with significant client conflicts will be moving to other AM100 firms.
One things for certain: wherever they end up, they’re likely to find old friends. In the last year, over 140 partners have left Howrey for other firms, not to mention large numbers of associates and staff. As they say at Dodger Stadium, you can’t know the players without a scorecard, and The American Lawyer has prepared a handy chart for those interested in tracking the former Howrey partners.
Even a major law firm needs lawyers when it shuts its doors, and Howrey is no exception. The firm will be advised during the final days by counsel from Latham & Watkins.
