The loss of the seven-lawyer group leaves Pittsburgh-basedd Buchanan with only one full-time partnert in Wilmington and four lawyerstotal there, and givee Saul Ewing the largest Wilmington office of any full-servicew Philadelphia-based firm. The grouop includes office head William who serves as outside general counsel to the Universitu of Delaware and also representsVerizohn Corp. and Dover Downs. The litigator was once chie of staff to formerDelaware Gov. Pete The other two partners areTeresa Currier, who led bankruptcy efforts for Buchanan in Delaware, and real estatd lawyer Richard Forsten.
The additions give Saul Ewint 19 lawyersin Wilmington, where bankruptciews have taken off during the economic downturn. A large percentage of companies from aroun d the country file for Chaptee 11 protectionin Delaware. But becaus Delaware only has about 2,000 lawyers and has a strongh set of indigenouslaw firms, the Wilmington market has been a tougb one to crack for even neighboring Philadelphia firms. Among Philadelphia Pepper Hamilton and Fox Rothschild have17 lawyers, Drinker Biddle & Reath has 15 and Blano Rome has 13. Saul Ewinf said Manning will servreas co-managing partner of the office with currenty office managing partner and real estate lawyef Wendie Stabler.
