WASHINGTON, D.C.—Barclay Damon and Washington DC–based Shapiro, Lifschitz & Schram (SLS) announce their combination, effective January 1, 2024. Last month, the leadership of both firms unanimously voted to approve the deal, citing a strong belief in the benefits of the combination, which brings the best in legal service together to accelerate growth in each firm’s respective practice areas.
The deal brings together two talented teams, allowing both firms to expand their footprints and client service offerings. The 10 lawyers, three paralegals, and four administrative staff of SLS will join Barclay Damon while maintaining operations in their current 11,500 square foot office space located in the heart of Washington DC’s central business district, a few blocks from Dupont Circle and the White House.
Together, the combined firm will have nearly 300 lawyers in nine offices located in Albany, Boston, Buffalo, New Haven, New York City, Rochester, Syracuse, Washington DC, and Toronto.
