The firm formerly known as Bouchard Margules & Friedlander has reorganized as Friedlander & Gorris after two of the firm’s named partners departed to pursue different paths. Former managing partner Andre G. Bouchard left to head the Delaware Court of Chancery while David J. Margules joined Ballard Spahr’s Wilmington office earlier this month.

Margules told Delaware Law Weekly that he and Joel Friedlander talked about the firm’s future roughly six weeks ago. The conversations began after Gov. Jack Markell nominated Bouchard to become the next Delaware Court of Chancery chancellor. Bouchard was later confirmed in early April.
