The addition of the Sher & Blackwell team will give Cozen O’Connor more than 30 lawyers at its D.C. office, said firm president and CEO Tad Decker. Sher & Blackwell is an international transportation and government affairs law firm.
“Not only does Sher & Blackwell have decades of experience in Washington, they also have broad national and international experience across a wide variety of industries and practices,” Decker said in a press release. “This combination brings to Cozen O’Connor an extremely talented and distinguished group of professionals committed to their clients, the profession, and the community.”
Joining Cozen O’Connor are six partners from Sher & Blackwell—Mark Atwood, Marc Fink, Jeffrey Lawrence, Anne Mickey, Stanley Sher and David Smith—along with nine other lawyers and government relations professionals.
The practices and geographic reach of Cozen O’Connor are a perfect fit for our client base,” said Sher & Blackwell Managing Partner Marc Fink. “We reached a point where we simply needed greater resources to serve our clients’ growing needs in Washington and around the country.”
Established in 1970 and ranked among the 100 largest law firms in the United States, Cozen O’Connor has 550 attorneys in 24 offices across two continents.
