Stevens & Lee and Chatham-based Brown, Moskowitz & Kallen have joined forces, marking Stevens & Lee’s third office in New Jersey and its 18th overall as the law firm extends its expansion strategy.
“Brown, Moskowitz & Kallen’s strong and deep relationships with the business community in New Jersey and New York, combined with its exceptional legal talent make the firm a natural fit for Stevens & Lee,” said Stevens & Lee President and CEO William P. Thornton Jr.
“Stuart Brown, Kenneth Moskowitz, Norman Kallen and Keith Marlowe, together with their talented team of lawyers, serve as trusted advisers to middle-market clients in New Jersey and New York,” said Thornton. “They understand their clients’ businesses and industries and are committed to relationship-driven service at the highest level.”
An eight-attorney firm serving privately held businesses for more than 25 years, Brown, Moskowitz & Kallen represent business clients in a wide range of commercial and other disputes.
This is the fourth acquisition for Stevens & Lee since June 1, following the addition of 16 lawyers in Providence, R.I., three lawyers in Bergen County, and the opening of the firm’s Pittsburgh office. The three attorneys who joined Stevens & Lee from Bergen County in July are Brian M. Satz who joined as a shareholder and associates Ariel Kirshenbaum and Nathania E. Lim from Satz Law Group, a boutique corporate and commercial transactional law firm founded by Satz in 2009. Stevens & Lee’s other New Jersey offices are in Elmwood Park and Princeton.
With more than 200 lawyers, Stevens & Lee is experienced in labor and employment, employee benefits, intellectual property, immigration, tax and health care to supplement Brown, Moskowitz & Kallen’s core corporate, litigation and real estate services.
“Joining Stevens & Lee is a natural next step in our firm’s trajectory, supplementing our litigation capabilities with a bench 60-attorneys deep and adding bandwidth to support clients in M&A and corporate and commercial real estate matters,” said Kenneth Moskowitz, co-founder and partner of Brown, Moskowitz & Kallen.
