Harrison & Held Adds Group of 13 AmLaw 100 Private Client Lawyers, Solidifying Position as the Only Truly National Private Wealth Law Firm

Group joins Harrison & Held from Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner – Attracted to firm’s unique business model built around private wealth as the core practice.

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Harrison & Held took a significant step toward solidifying its position as the only truly national private wealth-focused law firm, with the addition of 13 lawyers from Am Law 100 firm, Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner. The group, which includes 11 partners, one senior counsel, and one associate, enhances the firepower of an already elite firm, built from the ground up on a strong estate planning foundation. This addition also expands the firm’s international capabilities.

“We have long had a specific vision of what we wanted to be, realizing that our vision would require that we build our firm in a way that didn’t precisely conform to industry norms,” said Louis S. Harrison, one of the original founding partners of Harrison & Held. “Placing estate planning at our core enables us to serve the sophisticated and unique needs of our clients, providing them with resources and value that other firms simply cannot.”

This team adds to the firm’s depth, expanding capabilities both nationally and internationally, and with the opening of new offices in Atlanta, Denver, St. Louis, and Edwardsville, grows Harrison & Held’s geographic footprint. They are:

Atlanta:

• Kimberly Civins, partner
• Brent Howard, partner
• Tiffany McKenzie, partner
• Melissa Sprinkle, associate

Denver:

• Michael Bland, partner
• Linsey Glosier, partner
• Stephanie Moll Kriegel, partner

St. Louis:

• Lawrence Brody, senior counsel
• Stephen Daiker, partner
• Steve Dawson, partner
• Jarriot Rook, partner
• Alan Singer, partner

International:

• Dyke Arboneaux, partner

“I’m delighted to join a firm that is aligned with my practice and is dedicated to the complex legal needs of individuals and families worldwide,” said Tiffany N. McKenzie, one of the new Harrison & Held partners. “At Harrison & Held, my clients’ issues are the primary focus of the firm, providing them with resources, institutional knowledge and extraordinary service that they won’t find anywhere else. It is exciting to join a growing firm with such a strong vision.”

At a time when many law firms are downsizing, Harrison & Held is growing to accommodate its clients’ most sophisticated private wealth legal needs. The new team of lawyers follows the 2020 addition of seven attorneys which included the first Bryan Cave attorney to join Harrison & Held.
