Duane Morris Picks Up 19 Former Thelen Attorneys
The National Law Journal
December 02, 2008
A group of 19 former Thelen construction and real estate attorneys is joining Duane Morris.
The group -- with nine partners and 10 associates and special counsel -- will be part of Duane Morris' 60-attorney construction group and will work in the firm's New York office. The new construction practice will be led by partners Allen Ross, Frederick Cohen, Arthur Silverman and Richard Dyer.
Some of the new group's include developers involved in the rebuilding of the financial center in downtown Manhattan. Duane Morris is one of several law firms to bring aboard attorneys from Thelen, since that firm's decision to dissolve in October. Other large groups of Thelen attorneys have gone to Nixon Peabody, Howrey and Robinson & Cole. Reed Smith and Morgan, Lewis & Bockius also have absorbed Thelen attorneys in recent weeks.
