LeClairRyan Expands Presence in New England

NEW HAVEN, CT – To support its client-driven business strategy, the law firm of LeClairRyan is pleased to announce the establishment of an office in New Haven, Conn., continuing to extend its reach into the Northeast.

Recognizing an excellent synergistic opportunity, the firm will initially add a significant number of former Tyler Cooper attorneys, as well as legal and administrative staff to support the new office, including Richard W. “Deke” Bowerman who will serve as office leader. LeClairRyan expects its New Haven office to continue to expand through year end.

“This represents an excellent opportunity for LeClairRyan to continue its commitment to providing its clients with much greater depth, breadth and reach of representation,” stated LeClairRyan Chairman Gary D. LeClair. “The addition of an office in Connecticut, with the exceptionally talented new LeClairRyan attorneys, will build upon our corporate law and nationally established litigation practice teams and provide our clients with access to a greater depth of legal and business counsel services.”

The attorneys joining LeClairRyan bring significant litigation experience in general civil, commercial, bankruptcy and employment-related matters. “We are excited about this opportunity to join a national law firm with offices from New York to Los Angeles. This will enable us to provide a greater depth of talent for our clients while at the same time provide us opportunities for professional growth in a firm that has the same culture and core values that we have appreciated at Tyler Cooper,” stated Bowerman.
