Hodgson Russ closing Boca office

The Hodgson Russ law firm plans to close its Boca Raton office by the end of June, pulling back its Florida practice to its Palm Beach office. President and chief executive officer Gary Schober said the firm needs to redirect its resources. Florida’s economy is among the worst hit by the recession. Hodgson Russ will maintain its other offices, in New York City, Albany, Buffalo, and Johnstown, N.Y., and in Toronto, Ontario.
