This series of departures from Stroock & Stroock & Lavan is part of an ongoing transition period for the firm, which began experiencing the departure of legal teams to competing law firms earlier this year. This transition aligns with Stroock’s openly expressed pursuit of a merger partner, a venture it has been actively exploring since at least last year when a substantial group of restructuring lawyers left to join another firm. While merger discussions were initially initiated with Boston-founded Nixon Peabody, these talks were discontinued in July. Nevertheless, the firm remains committed to exploring potential collaborations with other law firms as it seeks to adapt to the evolving legal landscape.
