Chartwell Law proudly announces the establishment of new offices in Austin and Dallas, Texas with the addition of four veteran litigation and coverage attorneys. The strategic expansion comes on the heels of the firm’s recent rebrand and significant growth in the Southeast and Midwest over the last two years.
Chartwell’s expansion to Texas reflects increasing client demand for high-quality legal representation in the state and the firm’s dedication to solidifying its presence in major markets nationwide.
“We are thrilled to announce our expansion into Texas,” said Tom Strohmetz, a founding partner and Chief Communications Officer. “It is a testament to Chartwell’s continued growth and commitment to providing top-tier legal services nationally. We will maintain the same level of service that has defined Chartwell while serving clients in key geographic markets.”
“This powerhouse team brings a proven track record and wealth of experience, enhancing the firm’s capabilities and strengthening its position in the Texas legal landscape,” said Michael Diamond, a founding partner in the firm’s Philadelphia office. “I have worked alongside Barrie and her team in the London market for years and look forward to working together with them as we establish our roots in Texas.”
