Cincinnati-based CECO Environmental Corp. acquired Harleysville, Pa.-based Met-Pro Corp. for about $210 million August 26. Met-Pro was represented by Jeffrey H. Nicholas, a partner in Fox Rothschild's Warrington, Pa., office and chair of the firm's corporate securities practice group. CECO was represented by Leslie J. Weiss, a partner in the Chicago office of Indianapolis-based Barnes & Thornburg.

Nicholas said he began doing work for Met-Pro as a young attorney in New York City and eventually became outside general counsel to the company, as well as a member of its board.
