Hartford’s Shipman & Goodwin opened a new office this week, affixing its nameplate to the former offices of Kitchings & Potter in Old Lyme. The move includes the addition of attorneys Suzanne D. Kitchings and Edward B. Potter to Shipman’s trusts and estates practice.

Between trips to the shoreline community, department chairman Stephen K. Gellman said he was happy to be adding two “very accomplished and very knowledgeable” attorneys to the Shipman team who are already “known regionally for [their] professionalism, dedication and compassion.” Two paralegals will also remain on board.
