Sessions, Fishman Seeks Merger

The Times-Picayune reports that the insurance defense section of Sessions, Fishman & Nathan has left the firm and opened a firm under the name of Salley, Hite, Rivera & Mercer. Apparently the split is the result of Sessions, Fishman seeking to merge with another firm, possibly based out of state. "We're sorry to lose them," Jack Alltmont said of the lawyers, though he added that the shift "could be economically beneficial to both of us."
