“We started this firm nearly 30 years ago based on exceptional attorneys seeking extraordinary results for our clients,” said Jeff Ireland, managing partner for FI&C. “This merger continues those high standards and brings together talented lawyers. We are tremendously excited at the opportunities created by our combined practice.”
Erin Rhinehart, a partner for Faruki Ireland & Cox, said the firm is poised for more growth and expansion in the future.
“In 1989, FI&C’s founders established a high-caliber practice with a strong team of talented lawyers in a small, collegial environment; the acquistion of BGD Law builds on that foundation and propels the firm forward for continued growth to better serve our clients.”
