New York-based law firm Hawkins Delafield & Wood will open a new office in Ann Arbor, Mich.
Here are four things to know about the new office.
1. It will be the firm's first office in the Midwest.
2. Lisa Hagan, a new partner, will be resident in the Ann Arbor office. She previously was a senior principal in the Ann Arbor office of Miller, Canfield, Paddock and Stone. She received her Master of Law degree in taxation from Georgetown University Law Center in Washington, D.C., her Juris Doctor from Michigan State University College of Law in Lansing, and her bachelor's degree from Michigan State University. Her practice is focused primarily on healthcare, higher education and housing financings.
3. Howard Zucker, a member of the Hawkins management committee, commented on the new office and the lateral hire in a news release. He said, "For many years, Hawkins has enjoyed an active public finance practice in the Midwest. The opportunity to welcome a new lawyer to our firm, and to open an office near so many of our valued clients at the same time, is extraordinarily exciting."
4. The new Ann Arbor office will be the firm's first office in the Midwest and its ninth overall, joining New York, Washington, D.C., Newark, N.J., Hartford, Conn., Los Angeles, San Francisco, Sacramento, Calif., and Portland, Ore.
