The merger, set to occur by April 1, will be Polsinelli’s second merger in just over a year.
In the March 15 article in the St. Louis Business Journal, Polsinelli Chairman Russell Welsh was quoted as saying: “These are established lawyers and it is always good to have lawyers with existing relationships and long-standing relationships to start the office.”
In the same article, Mike Dallmeyer, managing partner of what will be Polsinelli’s Jefferson City office was quoted as saying: “A number of urban firms have opened offices here in Jefferson City and, as a result, there’s less referral of business from those firms that used to come to Hendren Andrae,” said
Polsinelli Shughart PC is one of the top 100 law firms in the country, with more than 470 attorneys in 13 cities stretching from Washington, D.C. to Phoenix.
Founded in 1946, Hendren Andrae’s practice focuses on government relations in Missouri’s capital.
