If you were going to rank the greatest NYC law firm collapses. Top two must be Dewey & LeBoeuf and Finley, Kumble, right? Where does (President Nixon's firm) Mudge Rose fit in? Top 5? Who else is in the top 5? Cc: @DavidLat @victorli2000 @EdAdams NYT 10/95https://www.nytimes.com/1995/10/01/nyregion/the-mudge-rose-firm-enters-the-tar-pit-of-legal-history.html …
I agree with Victor - it depends on your yardstick - but I do think you're right that Dewey & Finley Kumble have to be top two. Brobeck was huge, but one could say it was a San Francisco / West Coast rather than New York firm.
