Will Defections Leave Blank Rome Without Fla. Office?

Philadelphia's Blank Rome may be without a Florida office if it can't convince its lawyers in Boca Raton to stay.

At least half of the attorneys from the Florida outpost have already left for Greenberg Traurig and the National Law Journal (sub. req.) says the rest are considering a move.

The NLJ reports that partner Bruce Rosetto and three associates have announced they will formally move to Greenberg, leaving three partners.

If the rest also depart, Blank Rome could be without a presence in Florida for the first time in 30 years.
