A mass torts attorney for The Beasley Firm has departed to start his own firm and serve as of counsel to a Midwest firm, seemingly leaving his former firm with no mass torts lawyers.

The Beasley Firm now has eight full-time attorneys, according to its website, as well as one special counsel and two of counsel. It had been at 10 attorneys for more than two years, according to a survey by The Legal, but head count was as high as 16 attorneys in 2004, according to archived versions of the firm’s website.
