Said Managing Partner Scott Wolpert, "We are thrilled to add an outstanding, well-established, and beloved trust and estate lawyer to our team. By merging our resources, Carol's clients will now have a wide array of non-estate law services at their disposal. Many of our own clients have indicated an interest in exploring business opportunities in the thriving Main Line business community. This merger will allow for that to more easily happen. For these reasons and more, the merger is a definite win-win situation for both firms' clients."
