| Richmond, Roanoke law firms merge
Virginia Business
May 2004
One
of the state’s biggest law firms is getting bigger.
Richmond-based LeClair Ryan is picking
up a presence in the Roanoke and Blacksburg
markets in a merger with the 19-member firm of Flippin,
Densmore, Morse and Jessee.
The new firm, which will be known as LeClair Ryan Flippin
Densmore, will have 132 lawyers. That makes it the state’s
fifth largest behind four other Richmond-based firms,
led by Hunton & Williams, with 346 lawyers.
The new firm will have lawyers in Richmond, Roanoke,
Blacksburg, Alexandria, Charlottesville,
Glen Allen and Washington, D.C. “Our
clients have increasingly regional and national legal
needs,” said Doug Densmore in a statement announcing
the merger. “This merger allows us to accommodate
our growth and those client demands more effectively.”
