Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney today announced that Thomas M. Cryan, Jr., has joined the firm’s Employee Benefits and Tax Practice as a shareholder. He joins the firm from Miller & Chevalier in Washington, D.C.

“Buchanan’s strong national tax foothold combined with its substantial labor and employment practice were key factors in my move,” said Cryan, whose focus includes employee benefits and tax-related counsel regarding executive compensation, fringe benefits and employment tax. “The firm’s involvement in the Tax Management subsidiary of Bloomberg BNA (formerly the Bureau of National Affairs) also provides a solid platform for my practice,” Cryan added. He represents Fortune 100 companies, mid-market companies and emerging businesses. 

“There are only a few lawyers in the country who are as deeply focused in these areas as Tom,” said John Warner, co-managing shareholder of the firm’s Washington, D.C. office, and co-chair of the Business & International Tax Practice Group. “We are extremely pleased to welcome Tom to our team,” he added. 

Cryan’s move to Buchanan comes less than a month after real estate veteran Dennis Moyer joined the firm’s Washington office as a shareholder. According to Buchanan CEO Jack Barbour, the firm is adding highly experienced attorneys in areas that serve its client base, and the D.C. market is a focus for 2012.
