Haynes and Boone, LLP’s Post

This week, Harris Beach PLLC’s Chief Executive Officer Chris Jagel, Chief Business Development Officer DeWitt Sullivan and Office Managing Partner of White Plains Darius P. Chafizadeh visited Murtha’s Connecticut offices to connect with attorneys and staff and discuss the upcoming combination of our two firms. We are excited to continue collaborating as we work to become one unified firm with an expansive presence across the Northeast. #MurthaCullina #HarrisBeach #ConnecticutLawFirm #BostonLawFirm #NewYorkLawFirm

In 2018 MLA's Hire an Esquire sat down with James to interview him about the way he was bringing Fennemore into the future (we have an amazing full interview I'll have to share separately). He had just stepped into the role of managing partner and generously shared so much wisdom with us about how to build and grow a modern law firm. One great quote from our interview with James: "Stop doing what every other law firm is doing! If every other law firm is doing what you are, that's a good indicator of what you should not be doing. There’s a sea of similar firms in the legal industry, and they all tend to look the same. So there’s a huge opportunity, much more than other industries, for law firms to stand out. You have to be willing to take a little bit of a risk deviating from the norm." Obviously, those risks paid off and today Fennemore is celebrating their (ever-rising) ranking in the AmLaw 200. Congratulations!

Pirical will be in Washington, D.C. this week as we host a private dinner for the city's Legal Recruitment Leaders. In anticipation of our visit, I wanted to share some brief insights about what's happened in the market the past few years. Since 2020, DC has seen an increase in AMLaw 200 Partner Headcount by 6%, with 339 more Partners present in the market than 4 years ago. Notably, 6 firms in the AMLaw 200 have experienced over 100% growth in Partner Headcount, adding a total of 66 Partners. These firms include notable names like Haynes and Boone, LLP Snell & Wilmer, Brown Rudnick LLP, Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP, Ice Miller LLP, and Husch Blackwell. 📈 Key Practice Areas Driving Growth: Litigation: 39% increase in Partners Corporate: 18% increase in Partners #LegalRecruitment #WashingtonDC #LegalMarketInsights #BigLaw #AMLaw

🚀 Recent Moves in the Legal World! Spencer Fane has deepened its reach in the Las Vegas market by bringing on 14 talented lawyers from the esteemed local firm, Holley Driggs. This strategic combination strengthens Spencer Fane’s presence in the region, expanding its Las Vegas office to a team of 35 lawyers. For the Holley Driggs team, this move means joining a national network of colleagues, while for Spencer Fane, it enhances client services in the US Southwest. This follows the firm’s recent expansions in Utah and New Mexico, highlighting their commitment to growth in key markets. The legal industry has seen a wave of westward expansions this year, with several big law firms merging to enhance their market footprint. We’re excited to see what’s next! 💼🌟 #LegalIndustry #LawFirmGrowth #LasVegasLegal #SpencerFane #LawFirmExpansion

Philadelphia's legal market is sending some mixed signals: Large national law firms are expanding in, and firms with homegrown roots are expanding outward. What's going on in the local market? Well, we're still feeling the after-effects of the pandemic, for a start. Read the deeper analysis here:

I enjoyed discussing #lawfirmmergerstrategy with Amanda O'Brien as part of her reporting on recent large firm combinations. Law firm #strategicplanning has been very active this year, and the growth imperative is alive and well. What your firm's strategy entails can vary widely based on client needs and, in particular, the business climate and growth opportunities in your current geographic markets. How is your firm planning its #growthstrategy for 2025 and beyond?

Looking forward to hearing from my colleagues Steven Bewick and Ian Clemmence, alongside Nick Bamford on 10th October - should be an interesting discussion! Please sign up to join us at the link in Chloe's post below. #pwc #litigation #investigations
