Lamb McErlane, a West Chester-based boutique firm, has hired two municipal attorneys from Philadelphia-based Conrad O’Brien, allowing it to reach a broader swath of clients throughout Chester County.

Helen J. Esbenshade and Alan P. Novak joined Lamb McErlane earlier this month, after more than 20 years at Conrad O’Brien. Esbenshade joined as a partner and Novak as of counsel.
