Taft Stettinius & Hollister LLP announced Monday it has completed a merger with a Florida-based litigation boutique.
Taft is merging with Mrachek Law, an 18-lawyer trial team based in West Palm Beach and Stuart, according to a news release.
This is another very targeted move for Taft that further strengthens and expands our position among Florida’s most affluent markets—where our clients are doing more business and spending more time each year,” said Robert Hicks, Taft’s chairman and managing partner.
Earlier this month, the firm announced more growth in the region by welcoming private client partners Andrew Krause and John Paul Bratcher into the fold in connection with a new office in Naples, Florida.
The firm announced lawyers from Mrachek Law will bring their experience with several types of complex civil disputes, including commercial disputes, bankruptcy proceedings, intellectual property and trade secrets disputes, and product liability litigation.
“As part of Taft, we’ve worked closely together to ensure a smooth transition for our clients, attorneys, and staff, while enhancing our ability to deliver even greater value in the market. We have received a great response throughout our market about this combination and we’re excited about the opportunities ahead for our growing platform and we are eager to start this next phase,” said Alan Rose, Taft’s Florida Chairman and West Palm Beach Partner-in-Charge, in a released statement.
Taft has made several moves across the country so far in 2025. In January, the firm expanded into the mountain west through its merger with Denver-based Sherman & Howard.
So far this year, Taft has added more than 200 attorneys to its team, according to the firm.
