International firm Womble Bond Dickinson has quietly pulled off a very modern piece of legal jiu-jitsu: turning another firm’s collapse into a strategic growth play.
The firm has absorbed 19 lawyers and 17 regulatory and licensing specialists from McGlinchey Stafford, the US mid-market firm that voted earlier this year to dissolve.
The intake brings 36 professionals into Womble in one sweep and sharply deepens its bench in consumer financial services, one of the most regulator-intensive practice areas in modern law.

AlphaLit’s seed round is more than another legal tech funding story, but is a shot across the bow of the traditional plaintiffs’ bar and a live case study in how voice AI and claims scoring could rewire the economics of “small” litigation.
For most plaintiffs’ firms, high-volume, lower-dollar matters remain structurally unattractive.
Intake on smaller civil claims is labour-intensive, non-billable, and often delegated to over-stretched staff, which makes it hard to justify the time spent on leads that rarely convert into seven-figure wins.
AlphaLit points to a brutal funnel – roughly 64 percent of calls from potential plaintiffs never get a substantive response, leaving an estimated 55 million meritorious civil claims unfiled each year, particularly in working-class communities.
