"Joining forces with Fennemore not only broadens our horizons but also deepens our commitment to delivering top-notch legal services to our clients. Our combined strengths promise a new chapter of excellence and innovation. I am eager to leverage my knowledge to expand and enhance the already outstanding Fennemore Tax Practice Group."
