“We are excited to bring Grant into our partnership. He is a high-caliber talent and a true impact player who contributes to our complex cases while providing tireless dedication to our clients and our firm. He is a wonderful colleague and person,” says Collin Cox, partner. Tim McConn, partner, adds, “In addition to the exceptional work he is doing on behalf of our clients, Grant serves as our firm’s co-lead hiring attorney. In that role, he has been instrumental this year in the firm’s addition of four impressive new associates to help us keep up with increased demand while continuing to enhance our profile to find and hire the caliber of talented young lawyers for which we are well-known.”
