White & Williams expands New York presence
Philadelphia Business Journal
White & Williams said Friday it will acquire five-lawyer Koerner Silberberg of New York on Sunday. Koerner Silberberg's practice includes corporate transactions, securities law, real estate and commercial litigation. The acquisition does not include the addition of any partners, though, as Carl Seldin Koerner and Frances Zujkowski join White & Williams as counsel along with three associates.
George Hartnett, White & Williams' chairman, said the transactional practices of the Koerner firm will mesh with White & Williams' traditional strength in commercial litigation, particularly with securities litigation.
White & Williams, which is based in Philadelphia, already has a seven-lawyer New York office that includes three partners at One Penn Plaza. Koerner Silberberg is located at 112 Madison Ave. The two groups will combine into one office at One Penn Plaza, where new space will be ready for occupancy.
After the acquisition, White & Williams said, it will have 230 lawyers practicing in eight offices in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York and Delaware.
