Shake Up At Kluger Peretz?

Alana Roberts reports:

At least six transactional attorneys have left Miami-based Kluger Peretz Kaplan & Berlin, and sources say two of the firm’s name partners may leave after a 22-year association as the firm reorganizes to focus on litigation.

Five transactional attorneys have left the firm, and one will leave the firm — known for its litigation and bankruptcy work — next week.

Meanwhile, sources say intellectual property co-chair Steven Peretz and bankruptcy co-chair Howard Berlin are planning to leave. Founding partner Alan Kluger declined to comment about their possible departures.

Calls to Peretz and Berlin were not returned.

I got a kick out of this comment:

“I’m building a national trial firm,” Kluger said.

Ok, but Alan, have you seen how national firms are performing nowadays?
