Morrison & Foerster continued to see departures from its state and local tax practice, as five lawyers in the group left to join Blank Rome in New York.

Irwin Slomka joined Blank Rome as senior counsel; Matthew Cammarata, Eugene Gibilaro and Kara Kraman became counsel; and Michael Pearl joined as a senior attorney in the firm’s New York office. They came to Blank Rome over the course of this past week, following four partners who made the same move last month.
