Sonnenschein to Shutter Charlotte Office

February 27, 2009

Less than two years after Sonnenschein Nath & Rosenthal announced the opening of its office in Charlotte, N.C., partners voted Friday afternoon to close up shop in the battered banking center. In a statement, Sonnenschein chair Elliott Portnoy cited "local marketplace realities, the declining demand for legal services in the Charlotte legal and financial markets, and the needs of our financial institution clients" as reasons for the move.
