Midwest firm Spencer Fane is expanding its Plano office, adding nine litigation and business lawyers from Hiersche, Hayward, Drakeley & Urbach, which is based in Addison and will soon wind down operations.

The group will join Spencer Fane on Jan. 1, two years after the firm opened in Plano. The Kansas City, Missouri-based firm opened its Dallas office in 2016 and moved into Houston earlier this year.
