Shipman & Goodwin LLP, one of Connecticut’s largest law firms with 180 attorneys, has opened an office in New York City. It is the Hartford’s firm’s second location outside of Connecticut.
The Manhattan office is part of the firm’s goal of expanding its presence in New York, said Alan E. Lieberman, managing partner of Shipman & Goodwin. He said the new office will enhance the firm’s existing work for clients in the areas of mergers and acquisitions, bankruptcy, finance, litigation, tax and trusts and estates.
“We are thrilled to be able to establish a permanent presence in the heart of the active midtown real estate market, as this enables our team to bring greater resources and efficiencies to our clients,” said Kent S. Nevins, who practices in the firm’s New York City and Stamford, Conn. offices. In February, Shipman & Goodwin concluded a significant transaction for a major New York City developer in its acquisition of the fee interest in the iconic Lipstick Building at 885 Third Ave.
Joining the firm in the new office are Michael T. Conway and Stephen I. Siller, both senior-level lawyers formerly of LeClairRyan in New York, NY.
Shipman & Goodwin’s newest office is at 400 Park Ave. in Manhattan. The firm’s other locations are in Hartford, Stamford, Greenwich, New Haven and Lakeville, Conn., and in Washington D.C.
