Announcement from Reish & Reicher - March 16, 2011

The Firm's attorneys have joined two other law firms and the Reish & Reicher firm is no longer practicing law. There will not be any disruption in our practice of law or the representation of our clients.

One group joined the national law firm of Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP. The other joined the Southern California law firm of Silver & Freedman. The partners joining Drinker Biddle are Fred Reish, Bruce Ashton, Lee Reicher, Mark Terman, Mike Vanic, Joe Faucher and Pascal Benyamini. The partners joining Silver & Freedman are Jon Karp, Jeff Lewis and Gary Wexler. In addition to the partners, other attorneys at the firm will be included in the transition.

The attorneys going to Drinker Biddle are those who practice in the areas of employee benefits, ERISA litigation, employment law/litigation, tax and estate planning, corporate and real estate. The attorneys joining Silver & Freedman practice in the areas of transactions, business, taxation, estate planning, and business and real estate litigation.

While we are proud of our long standing association and close relationships among the partners, we feel that this transition is important for our legal practices and our clients. The relationships among the partners remain strong, and we will work in a cooperative spirit to ensure that our clients come first and that there is no disruption to the work being done for them. The partners will continue to work together on appropriate matters and refer work to each other, even while working at different firms, so that client needs continue to be satisfied.

New contact information for each of the lawyers is provided below.
