View Larger Map

Kluger Peretz Kaplan & Berlin is no more. According the a Daily Business Review report, out of the pieces of the 50+ attorney firm comes two new boutique firms and one named partner joining Berger Singerman.

Alan Kluger and Abbey Kaplan will remain and the new firm will be a 24-attorney litigation boutique of Kluger Kaplan. Per Kaplan, “We figure specialization is the key” to success as a smaller firm.

Steven Peretz, along with Michael Chesal, Leora Herrmann and associate Paul Kobak, are leaving to launch their own intellectual property firm. Accoring to the article, the split is amicable and they will even remain in the same workspace. “We view IP law as a standalone specialty,” Peretz said. “We can signal to the market our specialization better by being a boutique firm.”

Bankruptcy partner Howard Berlin has joined Berger Singerman’s Miami office along with bankruptcy attorney Deborah Talenfeld.
