After toxic tort litigation partner Douglas Wah left Bishop, Barry, Howe, Haney & Ryder in February, 14 toxic tort litigators have since followed. Nine of these lawyers have joined Wah at Foley & Mansfield, while the others left for other firms. The exodus has left Bishop Barry with eight partners, only two of which handle toxic torts. Wah feels that at Foley & Mansfield he has more litigation support from attorneys experienced in abestos litigation. Likewise, the group that most recently left Bishop Barry did so because after Wah left, they had little support in their practice area.
