The official winding down Howrey LLP is taking his first step toward staking a claim in the profits from ongoing work that the defunct firm's former partners brought with them to their new firms, Dow Jones DBR Small Cap reported today. Bankruptcy trustee Allan B. Diamond this week won a judge's permission to subpoena 70 law firms that hired more than 200 Howrey partners and to start investigating the transfer of Howrey clients to those firms as well as the compensation the firms received for representing those clients.
