Whiteford, Taylor & Preston Expands into Delaware
Wilmington, DE –Whiteford, Taylor & Preston LLP (WTP) is pleased to announce the opening of its Delaware office. The office, temporarily located at 1000 N. West Street, Wilmington, DE 19801, officially opened for business on August 1, 2007. The phone number is 302.295.4912. This major geographic expansion follows on the heels of the firm’s move into Northern Virginia earlier this year.
“This is an exciting move for us and our clients, whose needs are driving our growth into both Virginia and Delaware,” explained Albert Mezzanotte, Jr., the firm’s managing partner.
The first Wilmington-based lawyer to join the Delaware office is Margaret M. Manning, formerly of Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney, who joins as Counsel in the Bankruptcy group.
Mezzanotte noted, “We have been pleased by the intense interest shown in the Delaware legal community in this move. We plan to grow the Wilmington office aggressively, particularly in the areas of bankruptcy, litigation, corporate and real estate.”
Meg Manning commented, “Whiteford has an excellent reputation, particularly for its strong Bankruptcy practice, which is well-known for its national scope and sophistication. It’s great to get in on the ground floor of this major expansion for the firm, and I’m looking forward to welcoming many new colleagues to the Wilmington office and practice over the next year.”
The firm is actively negotiating for sufficient permanent space in Wilmington to accommodate ten or more lawyers.
