Barclay Damon adds 20 attorneys from LeClairRyan
Daily Record Staff//September 3, 2019//
Barclay Damon LLP, which has a Rochester office, has announced the addition of 20 former LeClairRyan, effective Aug. 30, at other offices.
The new attorneys include three attorneys in New York City, five in Boston, and 12 in New Haven, Conn.
The additions strengthen areas of strategic growth for the firm, including bankruptcy, labor and employment, higher education, finance, real estate, and litigation, several of which have national reach.
In addition to the former LeClairRyan group, Barcla Damon’s recent growth includes the addition of seven wealth management planning and elder law attorneys from Lacy Katzen LLP in 2018, the 15-attorney bankruptcy firm Menter, Rudin & Trivelpiece PC in 2018, and the 12-attorney energy-environmental firm Gilberti, Stinziano, Heintz & Smith, PC in 2017.
A combination with Damon Morey LLP in 2015 resulted in the firm’s name change from Hiscock & Barclay LLP to Barclay Damon LLP. Over the last two decades, the firm’s lateral-recruitment program, which focuses on successfully identifying, onboarding, and integrating new talent, has increased the firm from 50 to nearly 300 attorneys.
