So many law firms for a block trade at the exchange? Has work at the firms reduced this drastically that it gets reported with such fanfare?

Never seen 7 partners (not counting partner(s) of W&C whose name(s) are not mentioned here) of several firms working on a single block trade deal. Work has really dried up, is it?
