Overview

The Akron office opened in 2004 and is found in the heart of Akron’s downtown business district.  In 2022, the office relocated to Akron Centre Plaza on Main Street in downtown Akron.

Since its opening, the office has been a vibrant part of the northeast Ohio legal community and currently includes 18 attorneys who focus their practices on commercial and real estate matters, corporate and securities law, health care, intellectual property, labor and employment law, and litigation.
