Partners in Small Firm Split Up Due to Bad Practice Fit
Two longtime friends and law partners have split up their Memphis, Tenn., firm after deciding that their two practice areas–matrimonial law and a business and commercial litigation practice, including mass torts–just weren’t a good fit.
Crone & Mason has disbanded, as of April 1, and name partner Alan Crone has formed a new firm with Bruce Kramer, which will be known as Kramer & Crone, reports the Memphis Business Journal. Crone will serve as managing partner of the six-attorney Memphis firm.
Meanwhile, Mason formed his own Miles Mason Family Law Group with the firm’s four matrimonial attorneys and five paralegals. It will maintain the former Crone & Mason offices in Memphis and Brentwood, Tenn.
“He wanted to brand himself as a family law firm,” says Crone of his partner, and, “from a business sense, it just made sense.”
