The national law firm of Hinshaw & Culbertson LLP announces that three Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith LLP attorneys have joined the firm’s Labor & Employment practice as partners in the New York office.
The attorneys that have joined Hinshaw are Ivan D. Smith, Maureen M. Stampp and Gregory S. Glickman. Their arrival will bolster Hinshaw’s labor & employment capabilities nationally, as well as locally in New York.
“The addition of these highly regarded partners in New York is a key step in advancing our strategy of growing the office in areas such as labor & employment, environment, white collar litigation and professional liability and mass tort defense where the firm already has strong existing practice groups,” said J. Richard Supple Jr., Partner-in-Charge of Hinshaw’s New York office. “We’re excited to add partners of this caliber to the firm. They are a good example of the firm’s ability to attract highly talented attorneys and steadily grow our New York office.”
“Hinshaw has an excellent reputation and a multi-disciplinary platform, with lawyers representing clients in a wide range of business issues throughout the country,” said Ivan Smith, former co-chair of Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith’s Entertainment practice and vice chair of the Labor & Employment group. “We look forward to tapping into this collaborative environment and offering our clients access to a variety of services. We are also thrilled to contribute to the expansion of the firm’s Labor & Employment practice in New York.”
Mr. Smith, Ms. Stampp and Mr. Glickman are the first group to join Hinshaw’s New York office since the office moved to a larger location at 800 Third Avenue in August. Under the new 10-year lease, Hinshaw occupies the entire 13th floor of the building, or 20,010 square feet. The new location gives the firm an increase of more than 8,700 square feet from the space it leased at its former location of 10 years.
