Seven government-services lawyers from Mount Laurel’s Capehart Scatchard are departing for a boutique firm amid a shifting political climate in Burlington County.

The seven attorneys, including Glenn Paulsen, former chairman of the Burlington County Republican Committee, will join attorney Adam Malamut’s Cherry Hill-based firm as of Feb. 22, according to those involved in the move. There they will form a government services practice, bringing expertise in areas such as land use, redevelopment and eminent domain.
