Nelson Mullins expands in Boston
The law and lobbying offices of Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough LLP, a law and lobbying firm, said it has added 21 professionals to its Boston office, many through the acquisition of the Boston law office of WolfBlock LLP.
WolfBlock is a Philadelphia firm that dissolved earlier this year, said Joseph Donovan, managing director of Nelson Mullins' lobbying operations.
With more than 400 attorneys and lobbyists, Nelson Mullins is headquartered in Columbia, S.C., and has several offices in the Southeast. In 2006, it opened a Boston office, which had five attorneys before the influx of folks from WolfBlock.
Nelson Mullins has been looking to bulk up its Boston office, and WolfBlock's troubles offered Nelson Mullins an opportunity to further that goal, Donovan said.
Several WolfBlock attorneys are also joining the Nelson Mullins office in Washington, D.C.
The Boston office will now have two co-chairs: Bill Hogan, who previously led the office, and Robert B. Crowe, a major fund-raiser for the Democratic Party who had previously headed WolfBlock's Boston office, Donovan said.
