Crumbie, which currently has offices in Hartford and Boston, will open offices in Concord, N.H., and Providence – matching Hinckley’s footprint. Crumbie’s is the largest state-certified Minority Business Enterprise law firm in New England, a news release said.
“This alliance allows our firm the opportunity to work on larger and higher-profile matters we otherwise might not have had access to for various reasons, at the same time, this alliance provides Hinckley access to work and a perspective it otherwise may not have had,” said Andrew Crumbie, founding partner of CLG. “Hinckley’s broader practice allows us to take on larger pieces of work and significantly boosts our ability to attract new work.”
Crumbie, established in 2007, has 11 lawyers and focuses on litigation, corporate investigations, municipal services and commercial transactions. Hinckley has 130 lawyers.
“We deeply believe in the value of diversity and believe that our clients will benefit from engaging an experienced, diverse and creative team of legal advisors while meeting their expectations that their law firms increase the retention and promotion of minorities,” said Marc Crisafulli, managing partner of HA&S.
