Ogletree, Deakins, Nash, Smoak & Stewart has merged with Lewis Fisher Henderson & Claxton opening two new offices in Memphis, TN, and Jackson, MS. The merger will add 19 lawyers to Ogletree’s 365. Though Memphis had not been a city that Ogletree had been considering, it will allow the firm to service Western Tennessee, Arkansas, and parts of Mississippi. Moreover, only one other labor & employment boutique, Ford & Harrison, has an office in Memphis. Ogletree has opened six new offices since the beginning of 2005, and now has 30 nationwide.
