In its latest merger with a small intellectual property boutique, Columbus, Ohio-based Vorys, Sater, Seymour and Pease has nearly doubled the size of its Pittsburgh office.

Vorys Sater has added 12 professionals, including 10 lawyers, in the city after bolting on local IP shop Beck & Thomas. The new additions join a dozen lawyers already practicing with Vorys Sater in Pittsburgh, where the Columbus-based firm set up shop in 2013.
