LeBoeuf Lamb Greene & MacRae has ditched its seven-partner Salt Lake City office as the firm looks to shift the focus of its bankruptcy practice to its recently launched Chicago arm. The move, effective from this month, sees the top 50 US firm pull out of Utah leaving the Salt Lake City office to splinter off as an independent firm.

The new firm is called Mabey & Murray after the office’s co-managing partners Ralph Mabey and Kevin Murray.
