Since the beginning, staff and associates of McLaughlin & Lauricella had been seeking the company’s management to come up with a plan of transition for the case that one suddenly decided to leave McLaughlin & Lauricella, as per the founder and partner Paul Lauricella.
But partner Lauricella as well as Slade McLaughlin didn’t think it was needed, based on the same attitude that is prevalent in most small litigation practices – that all issues that arise within the company could be addressed in an identical “handshake basis” as well as mutual respect among partners who were named that run the company since the firm’s opening in.
