Prior to joining Buchanan, Staiger was a partner in the Corporate Department of Dinsmore & Shohl LLP’s Pittsburgh office.

“The firm has been serving clients in the oil and gas industry for decades,” said Jack Barbour, Buchanan’s CEO. “And because we can provide industry-specific legal counsel across a broad spectrum of practices, we have seen a steady increase in the amount of work this group has brought in,” he added.
