Intellectual property firm Thomas, Kayden, Horstemeyer & Risley has split in two because of client conflicts. McClure, Qualey & Rodack spun off from the parent firm on Oct. 1 and Thomas, Kayden, Horstemeyer & Risley renamed itself Thomas Horstemeyer, after the two founders.
George Thomas, who started the firm 16 years ago with Scott Horstemeyer, said the split was amicable and that he was sorry to lose his former partners. “We’ve been together for 16 years. Our families remain good friends,” he said. “It was a happy split.”
