Baker Donelson expands into New Jersey with health law hires from Epstein Becker Green
Nationally, the Memphis firm has over 20 offices, with more than 700 attorneys.
One of Memphis' largest firms announced today, April 21, a major expansion into the Northeast.
Memphis-based law firm Baker Donelson has hired 26 new attorneys and launched two offices in New Jersey.
One office will be in Princeton and the other in Metropark. The firm is currently operating out of temporary locations in New Jersey and seeks to establish permanent office space "in the coming months," according to a news release.
The new attorneys specialize in health care transactions, litigation, and real estate. All join Baker Donelson from New York-based national firm Epstein Becker Green.
With the expansion, Baker Donelson is expanding its Health Law Group, which is one of the largest in the country. That group features more than 200 attorneys in 11 states and Washington, D.C.
"A key aspect of our strategic vision is elevating our ability to serve clients as trusted advisors with industry depth and proactive counsel," Baker Donelson chair and CEO Timothy M. Lupinacci said in the release. "This includes growth both within our existing footprint and beyond."
Baker Donelson's new hires include Gary Herschman, who will serve as co-chair of Baker Donelson's Health Care Transactions Group; Anjana Patel, who will oversee the Metropark and Princeton offices as managing shareholder; and Anthony Argiropoulos, a national litigator who will bring his entire team of litigators and professionals to the firm.
Of the 26 new attorney hires, 17 join as shareholders, seven as associates, and two as of counsel. Additionally, six support staff and two paralegals have joined Baker Donelson.
Nationally, Baker Donelson has over 20 offices, with more than 700 attorneys.
