Midwestern Merger Madness: Stinson Leonard Street

Mark Hinderks, managing partner of Stinson Morrison Hecker

This week brings a more sizable combination, between two law firms from America’s heartland: Stinson Morrison Hecker LLP, a 300-plus lawyer firm with offices in six Midwestern and Western states and Washington D.C,  and Leonard Street & Deinard LLP, which has more than 200 lawyers in Minnesota, North Dakota and Washington D.C. The merged firm will be called Stinson Leonard Street LLP, and have offices in 14 cities across the U.S. . .
