The name partners of the Miami law firm Heller Waldman have gone their separate ways, establishing two distinct firms focused on different practice areas.

Glen Waldman, a litigator, has established Waldman Barnett with Eleanor Barnett, who was previously a partner at Heller Waldman and focuses her practice on complex commercial and business litigation, trust and probate litigation, and employment litigation. The firm, which opened last week, focuses primarily on litigation. It has hired four lawyers who previously worked for Heller Waldman, and it has taken on a new associate. Waldman Barnett continues to operate out of the Heller Waldman office space in Coconut Grove, where that firm was established in 2009.
