Why did Shea & Gould go under?[edit]

The article states that Shea & Gould "dissolved" . . . . but then says nothing more . . . nothing, zip, nada. Why did it go under? Did it go bankrupt? Did it leave debts behind? There has to be a reason why this firm went under. Did partners get any of their equity back? Did they end up getting nothing and then further having to pay off the firm's debts? This is a strange article that leaves a lot of unanswered questions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Betathetapi545 (talk • contribs) 12:27, 25 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks to those who added additional information, even if it later got deleted - I ended up reading the edits and deletions since I posted the above comment and now know more or less why Shea & Gould went under - the merger with that Los Angeles firm apparently was a disaster, and then once you have lawyers leave combined with declining revenue, that is a classic recipe for a lawfirm to go under. I'm still curious if all bills/debts got paid, and if the partners got any of their equity out, and if so, what percentage. Thanks in advance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Betathetapi545 (talk • contribs) 11:31, 9 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
