New Orleans-based McGlinchey Stafford has announced that it will cease operations. Established 52 years ago, the firm has 18 offices across the Southeast and Northeast, including in Nashville. According to the ABA Journal, equity partners voted to wind down operations after “assessing several strategic alternatives.” Deirdre McGlinchey, daughter of firm co-founder Dermot McGlinchey, was among recent departures, leaving along with several other attorneys for Jones Walker. McGlinchey’s Nashville office served corporate and individual clients with corporate formation, real estate closings, banking and regulatory compliance, trademark registration, entertainment, insurance defense, products liability defense, bankruptcy, loan workouts, and financial services and general civil litigation in all Tennessee state and federal courts.
