Offit Kurman’s New York expansion plans have hit a speed bump, as the mid-Atlantic, midsize firm’s agreement to affiliate with New York’s Eaton & Van Winkle fell apart at the last minute.

Offit Kurman announced in January that it would be acquiring much of what remained of Eaton & Van Winkle, including 16 lawyers and office space at 3 Park Avenue in Manhattan. The deal was set to take effect Feb. 1, but did not come to fruition.
