US: Law Firm Briggs and Morgan to Merge with Taft

By  |  September 1, 2019

Minneapolis law firm Briggs and Morgan on Friday, August 30, announced plans to merge with Taft Stettinius & Hollister, a “decentralized” firm with offices in Chicago, Indianapolis, and several Ohio cities.

The new firm will operate under the Taft name. The merger is aimed at expanding both firms’ geographic footprint.

The combined firm will have more than 600 lawyers working out of 12 offices across the country. Briggs currently employs 135 attorneys in the Twin Cities area.

Briggs president and managing partner Steve Ryan will become partner-in-charge of the new firm’s Minneapolis office, which will be the combined firm’s biggest office. Briggs operates from the IDS Center in downtown Minneapolis.

“The larger platform gets us where we want to go in the way we want to get there – through a talent-driven strategy, Midwestern footprint and focus on practical, business-minded outcomes,” Ryan said in a news release. “The result is a firm that is greater than the sum of its parts.”
