HANDLER THAYER, LLP

The Partners of Handler Thayer, LLP would like to thank you for your loyalty and patronage to the firm over the years. In the spirit of providing a good succession plan for the partners, attorneys, professional staff and clients of the firm, we have decided that the best plan is to terminate Handler Thayer, LLP as of June 30, 2024, and to let each of the partners build and grow their practices on the platform that suits them best. For partners Steve Thayer, Eric Kalnins, and Lacee Wentworth, that means joining the law firm of Ice Miller, along with associates Ryan Bennett and Andrew Willis, and paralegal, Pat Gladstone, who can be found at www.icemiller.com. For partners, Tom Handler, Mark Anderson, Andrew Morton and several new partners, that means the formation of Handler Law, LLP where they will continue the practice of law along with all the rest of the firm’s current team members who can be found at Handler.Law. Please note that as of June 30, 2024, no further legal services will be available or provided by Handler Thayer, LLP. We look forward to continuing to serve you at our new firms. Please feel free to reach out to any of the partners with questions regarding our succession plan. You may also contact Vicky Fleming by email at [email protected], or by phone at 312-960-3147. https://lnkd.in/gc9MC8im
