The news that Barclay Damon and Shapiro, Lifschitz & Schram (SLS) have combined has garnered national attention. The National Law Journal, in “Barclay Damon Combines With DC-Based Shapiro, Lifschitz & Schram,” highlighted the two firms’ mutual long-term goals of increased geographic presence; depth and breadth of attorney experience; and practice area offerings.
Connie Cahill, managing partner, said, “We’re looking to grow the 10 lawyers we now have there from [SLS] in the IP, the regulatory, and the white-collar areas. So we think that there’s great potential for us to continue our lateral growth in DC.”
The article also noted Barclay Damon’s historic growth efforts, citing combinations from 2019 and 2015, and emphasized that the firm’s growth efforts continue. “We’re absolutely looking for combinations of small [attorney] groups, especially in what we refer to now as our four major market offices: DC, Boston, New York City, and New Haven,” said Connie.
