Eversheds Sutherland's trusts and estates team has departed for Atlanta boutique The Bowden Spratt Law Firm.

Partner Nick Djuric moved to Bowden Spratt on Sept. 1, with senior partner Charlie Hurt joining as of counsel and associate Elizabeth Faist joining as counsel.

They have become part of a gradual but inexorable trend for trusts and estates lawyers at big firms, who have been heading to boutiques for more than a decade as their firms become ever larger and national.
