WP:ROTM mid-size regional law firm that fails WP:NCORP. Only claim to notability for the firm is being involved in some high-profile tobacco litigation in the '80s and '90s, and I'm unable to verify that it played a significant role. It had some notable partners in its early years, but notability is not inherited from them. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 05:30, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Leaning delete. WP:NOTINHERITED applies as much to law firms with partners who went on to fame as it does to anything else. I would be willing to reconsider this position if substantial evidence of national (or at least more than regional) coverage can be shown. I suppose some of the information could be merged into the pages of the founders. BD2412 T 03:14, 6 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
