Ferrell Law Winds Down Practice After Sole Shareholder’s Death

Litigation boutique Ferrell Law is being shuttered after it disintegrated in the wake of the death of prominent Miami attorney Milton Ferrell Jr., its sole equity shareholder and main rainmaker. The firm had shrunk from 67 attorneys in 17 offices worldwide to 20 lawyers at the time of Ferrell's death last November. Some disputes developed among the attorneys over who would get which firm clients after his death, but no litigation resulted, a source familiar with the breakup said on condition of anonymity.
