Roberta Kaplan, a prominent New York litigator, announced her departure from Kaplan Hecker & Fink to establish a new, smaller civil litigation, investigations, and advisory boutique. Citing a preference for a more streamlined environment, Kaplan highlighted the increasing bureaucracy that often comes with larger firms as a significant factor in her decision.
Kaplan will form the new firm, Kaplan Martin LLP, alongside Tim Martin, another partner at Kaplan Hecker & Fink. Scheduled to launch on July 15, Kaplan Martin will also include Steven M. Cohen, a founding member of Blue Raven LLP, and Mitra Hormozi, the former general counsel at Revlon. More details on this development can be found here.
