Baer Crossey McDemus has combined with Cozen O’Connor in a nine-attorney tie-up that includes name partners Andrew Baer, Michael Crossey and Christopher McDemus.

The Philadelphia boutique brings to the locally founded Am Law 100 firm a roster of mid-Atlantic clients, as well as some national clients, in the venture capital, data privacy and cybersecurity space—a boon to Cozen O’Connor’s strategic plan, which calls for continued growth in the transactional and corporate practices.
