Former Bronsonites Party Like Its 1999 Legal Pad
It happens every year,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], on the last Friday of April. Former partners, associates and staff of Bronson,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Bronson McKinnon come together from all parts of California - and this year, Europe - to celebrate their late and beloved law firm.
"We like the swallows in Capistrano,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," said ex-partner Richard Stratton,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], whose current firm,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Hanson Bridgett, housed this year reunion.
Upward of 100 people turned out for the 10th anniversary,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and they had a little extra to celebrate this year. About six months ago the firm completed its wind-down and,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in typical Bronson fashion, it was a collegial affair. No partner lawsuits,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], no creditor litigation,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], no employee class actions,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], not even a bankruptcy filing, partners said. In the end the firm even wound up paying back some capital to partners last fall.
"We paid off more debt than we ever thought we would. We paid out more capital than we ever thought we would," said Richard Ardoin,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a member of the wind-down committee who now practices at McKesson Corp. Former partners Michele Trausch and Paul Sanner and consultant Machelle Burkstrand also served on the committee.
Bronson was founded in 1918 and in its heyday numbered 180 lawyers and boasted one of the state top litigation practices. The firm dissolved April 30,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 1999, following a long series of defections.
Ardoin was one of at least six former managing partners at this year reunion,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], along with Terrence Ponsford, Charles Legge, Alexander Brainerd, Gilmore Diekmann and James Krieg. Former partner Edwin Green, 73 and described as one of the firm great trial mentors,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], flew in from his home in Roquecor,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], France.
