Tomlinson Zisko to disband after nearly 25 years
Law Firm News
The firm's co-founders, William Zisko and Timothy Tomlinson, said they are joining the East Palo Alto office of Greenberg Traurig LLP, which has grown its Silicon Valley office to 43 lawyers since opening in 2004.
Tomlinson Zisko has three other lawyers, all of whom said they are joining other law firms in the area. Tomlinson Zisko had as many as 20 lawyers at its peak in 2000. But retirements and defections reduced the firm's headcount to five today.
Tomlinson said the firm's dissolution is "amicable. We just reached too small a size to serve our clients' needs ... It was a great run." The firm advised clients on matters involving corporate finance, securities, intellectual property, litigation, tax and real estate.
