While merger settlements with Nixon Peabody and Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman were active, leaders of Stroock & & Stroock & Lavan had backup strategies to move parts of the company in case a mix didn’t turn out, according to sources knowledgeable about the matter.
After the company’s strategy A of combining with another company failed, its fallback of liquifying the company and transferring a part of the company is playing out today as majority of Stroock’s existing collaboration is transitioning to Hogan Lovells, consisting of property legal representatives, litigators and business dealmakers based in New york city, Washington, D.C., Miami and Los Angeles. The group consists of co-managing partner Jeff Keitelman.
