For 22 years, Myles Alderman Jr. ran his own Hartford-based firm. Perhaps best known for its bankruptcy work, Alderman & Alderman also focused on commercial litigation, alternative dispute resolution and general business advice.

Now Alderman is making a move to a much larger firm. He’s just been named chair of the Bankruptcy, Creditors’ Rights and Restructuring Practice Group at Halloran & Sage, a firm of about 80 attorneys that ranks in the top 10 in Connecticut in terms of annual revenues. According to a news release, Alderman will continue to focus on business bankruptcies, Chapter 11 reorganizations, creditors’ rights and commercial litigation.
