WILMINGTON — Barnes & Thornburg has added eight prominent lawyers, consultants and staff in Delaware, including partners Thomas McGonigle, Shawn Tucker and Michael Maimone.
Top level government relations consultants, Mary Kate McLaughlin and Doug Gramiak, are also joining the firm, along with Michael DeNote as of counsel, Sawyer Traver as an associate and Whitney Potts as a paralegal.
Joining from Faegre Drinker, the group collectively brings decades of experience and a deep understanding of Delaware’s critical role in corporate law, business disputes and financial services, along with public policy and political issues.
Mr. McGonigle is the partner in charge of the Delaware office and will participate on the firm management committee.
“This is an impressive group that knows Delaware and its place of prominence in legal and business matters across the country and around the world,” Robert T. Grand, Barnes & Thornburg managing partner, said in a prepared statement. “We’re excited to continue to invest in the First State, as growing in Delaware is a key strategic priority for our firm. We believe these new additions also will fit nicely into our broader growth strategy, including our continued expansion in New York.”
Barnes & Thornburg expanded into New York in February 2020 with the opening of a Midtown Manhattan office and lateral partners from some of the city’s elite law firms. Like the continued growth in New York, the Delaware additions are part of a broad firm-wide strategy to grow in strategic markets with top legal talent.
“After getting to know the Barnes & Thornburg team, it is clear this is a very well-managed firm and a good fit that will help support the clients we serve,” Mr. McGonigle said. “Barnes & Thornburg recognizes Delaware’s key role in corporate law, litigation, business and politics and is committed to a full-service Delaware office.”
