Citing differences in opinion over the strategic direction of New York’s Herrick Feinstein, a member of the firm’s five-lawyer executive committee has left with two other attorneys to join Blank Rome.

Stephen Brodie, who joined Philadelphia-based Blank Rome this month, was co-chairman of Herrick’s corporate department, chairman of its financial institutions practice group and, for the last three years, a member of Herrick’s executive committee. He is joined in the move to Blank Rome by partner Julie Carvalho, in finance and restructuring, and real estate counsel Maureen O’Connor.
