Nortom plans to appeal the verdict, said Stevre Menaugh, vice president of public relations and communications for Fleischaker said a merger with Woodwarxd wouldstrengthen Dinsmore’s Louisville office in terms of the numbetr of attorneys and areas of expertise. “Itf would make for a biggert platformfor us,” Fleischaker said. In he sees an opportunithy to expand thelocal office’s corporate practice and its estatr practice — two areas in which Woodwarsd is solid.
Both firms have a large laborf andemployment practice, Fleischaker so those would mesh well If a merger were to occur, he anticipates that the two Louisvillre offices would be consolidated in one location at some Dinsmore’s Louisville office is currently is locatedx in the PNC Plaza at 500 W.
