A New Orleans-based law firm is expanding into Mississippi as it merges with a firm based in Jackson.

The New Orleans firm is Jones, Walker, Waechter, Poitevent, Carrere & Denegre L.L.P.

It is combining with Watkins Ludlam Winter & Stennis, P.A., a firm that includes former Mississippi Gov. William Winter.

The firms say in a news release Tuesday that the merger should be complete by Jan. 1, and the combined firm will have 375 attorneys.

It will go by the current name of the New Orleans firm, Jones Walker.

After the merger is complete, Jones Walker will have 15 offices in Louisiana, Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Mississippi, Texas and the District of Columbia.

The law firm of Brodsky & Odeh, the legal practice behind several of Chicago's biggest cases, is splitting up, partners Reem Odeh and Joel A. Brodsky jointly announced today.

"We have grown in different directions and our expertise is now in very different areas of law," says Brodsky. "After some soul searching and discussion it became obvious to both of us that it simply makes more sense to be in separate law firms."

Odeh, who teamed with Brodsky six years ago, says she is looking forward to forging ahead with developing her own practice.

"I learned a lot from practicing criminal law with Joel over the last six years, and now it is time for me to develop my own identity as an attorney," says Odeh.

Brodsky and Odeh are probably best known for their representation of former Bolingbrook police officer Drew Peterson.

Reem says that despite the breakup of the firm, she will remain a part of Peterson's defense team.

Robbins Umeda LLP has commenced an investigation into possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law by members of the Board of Directors ("Board") of McAfee, Inc. ("McAfee" or the "Company") (NYSE: MFE) in connection with their efforts to sell McAfee to Intel Corporation ("Intel") (NASDAQ: INTC). If the transaction is completed, McAfee shareholders will receive $48.00 in cash for each share of McAfee common stock they hold.

Robbins Umeda LLP's investigation concerns whether the McAfee Board undertook a fair process to obtain fair consideration for all shareholders of McAfee. Specifically, our investigation concerns whether the Company's Board breached their fiduciary duties to McAfee shareholders by failing to adequately shop the Company before entering into the transaction with Intel. At least one analyst had a price target for the Company at $50 per share. Additionally, under the terms of the agreement, McAfee must pay Intel a $230 million termination fee if McAfee accepts a superior offer to the Intel offer.

If you are a shareholder of McAfee, plan to continue to hold your shares, and would like more information about your rights as a shareholder, please contact attorney Gregory E. Del Gaizo at 800-350-6003 or by e-mail at info@robbinsumeda.com.
