A phone call, a handshake, and the rest is history
Blank Rome's ancestry harks back to 1947, when "a phone call and a handshake formed the
partnership of Blank and Rudenko." Since that fateful day, Blank Rome Comisky & McCauley LLP has blossomed to over 290 attorneys practicing through the Mid-Atlantic states, Washington DC, and Boca Raton, Florida.
The Blank Rome litigation draw
Blank Rome offers a full range of litigation services, from ADR to toxic tort litigation. The firm's expertise elsewhere, however, has also been a draw in luring in high-profile litigators. In September 1999, for example, the firm snared former Assistant U.S. Attorney Alan M. Lieberman. Commenting on his lateral move, Lieberman noted to The Legal Intelligencer that he "wasn't looking to leave," but "the opportunity to work with Blank Rome's strong corporate finance and transactional practices was too great for a trial lawyer such as myself to pass up."
