End of an Era: Stroock Law Firm Dissolves After 147 Years

Stroock & Stroock & Lavan, a prominent U.S. law firm founded in 1876, has voted to dissolve after experiencing a series of lawyer departures and failing to secure a merger with a larger firm. The firm's remaining partners have authorized its executive committee to proceed with the dissolution, which will be implemented in the near future. Stroock has struggled to compete with other highly-profitable firms and has lost significant teams of attorneys to rival firms. More than 30 partners, including members of Stroock's real estate team, are set to join Hogan Lovells. The dissolution process will commence once the Hogan Lovells transaction is finalized.
