After a 30-year run, the Foltz Martin firm has disbanded. The commercial real estate and litigation boutique ultimately grew to 26 lawyers, becoming Foltz Martin Hudson & Knapp, after starting with two lawyers in 1983. But that proved too large for the four name partners, who have a penchant for small firms.

All four—Joseph Foltz, Marshall Martin, Halsey Knapp Jr. and Kevin Hudson—expressed respect and affection for their former colleagues but said they had different visions for the future. Each has gone in a different direction with his respective team, with three joining or forming small firms where they enjoy the freedom to run their practices as they wish or even to hold a twice-weekly yoga class.
