Builder sues new Disney Hall over missing payments - Law - M.A. Mortenson Co - Larry Feldman leaves Fogel, Feldman, Ostrov, Ringler and Klevens

Both Larry Feldman and Michael Jackson made moves last week, but it's unlikely their paths will be crossing as they did a decade ago.
Feldman said he would be leaving Fogel Feldman Ostrov Ringler & Klevens LC, his firm of 30 years, to join Kaye Scholer LLP's L.A. office. The move is one of the factors in Fogel Feldman' s planned year-end dissolution.
Feldman had obtained a multi-million dollar settlement in a civil suit alleging molestation against Jackson, charged last week by Santa Barbara police with child molestation.
Now, Feldman is busy representing attorney Johnnie Cochran in a palimony suit and the Oakland Raiders in its ongoing $1.2 billion suit against the National Football league over claims it forced the team to leave Los Angeles in 1995.
"Over the last 10 years I have been handling high profile, major litigation and in order to do that, you need lots of resources and lots of lawyers," Feldman said.
Fogel Feldman partner Jerome Ringler said the 12-attorney firm would dissolve, possibly re-forming under a new partnership or merging into a national law firm, one of which is in talks that are "very far along."
He said the partners agreed to dissolve the firm several months ago. "I think our interests diverged," he said. Ringler said he would take three to five associates with him, regardless of the new structure.
