—The Boss moves to new digs
It can now be revealed where he’s going. They’re damn lucky to have him. He may be 80, but he still works his ass off.
Very sad, again, that Heenan Blaikie is gone. They won’t be the last law firm to slip beneath the waves, however.
dissolution (noun)
1 – the closing down or dismissal of an assembly, partnership, or official body : the dissolution of their marriage.
• technical the action or process of dissolving or being dissolved : minerals susceptible to dissolution.
• disintegration; decomposition : the dissolution of the flesh.
• formal death.
2 – debauched living; dissipation : an advanced state of dissolution.
Why do I think that item 2 is apropos for a law firm? 😉
What’s the old joke: ‘You don’t appreciate a lawyer, until you need one’?
Slip beneath the waves? I believe that the better analogy is that under sage guidance Mr Heenan, they merely decided to get out of the choppy water.
Warren,
Why are the firms profitable but really hurting? Billing.
Robert Shapiro and others have changed the hours universe…adapt or die a slow business death.

How about staying on topic?
why is such a large law firm going out of business? sitting here on the left wet coast, how does this happen? legal firms out here still appear to be doing well.
