Growth in Real Estate and Litigation The firm offers robust services in business law, real estate, land use, construction, fiduciary and trusts, IP, and tax with an active litigation practice. Clients in construction, real estate development, and business services could benefit from integrated transactional and litigation support across more jurisdictions post-merger.

This positioning can be leveraged to approach growth-focused firms and mid-market companies seeking proven legal partners with reputational credibility.

Client Growth Signals New partner/associate hires and promotions (associates joining in 2025; promotions in 2024–2022) reflect active talent acquisition and firm growth.
