According to an
article in the
Philadelphia Daily News,
Andrew L. Barroway, managing partner of
Schiffrin & Barroway, LLP, is also a partner in a very different venture - a group that is in talks with Comcast Corp., the parent company of
Comcast Spectacor, L.P., which owns the
Philadelphia Flyers,
Philadelphia 76ers,
Philadelphia Phantoms, Wachovia Center, the Wachovia Spectrum, cable sports television group
Comcast SportsNet and various other entities.
Barroway is partnering with
Wayne D. Kimmel, one of the founders of
ETF Venture Funds - a suburban Philadelphia based venture capital fund.

Barroway appears to be something of a 76ers fan - according to a December 2003
American Lawyer article, he lives in the former house of NBA Hall of Famer and former Sixers great
Julius Erving, a/k/a "Dr. J."
Though, according to a
USA Today article from earlier this year, the Dr. J house is now for sale, together with a neighboring house owned by Barroway and his wife, for a cool $10.9 million.
Regular readers may recall back in August when
The D&O Diary highlighted another securities litigator that was "living large" though in a decidedly different way, S. Gene Cauley of
Cauley Bowman Carney & Williams, PLLC and his colorful MySpace page (which has since been
deactivated).
