A White-Plains, N.Y.-based firm with a national reach has added an office in Jacksonville, making it the firm's 36th.
Former Akerman Senterfitt attorneys Richard N. Margulies and Benjamin D. Sharkey joined Jackson Lewis LLC as partners. Both attorneys practice labor and employment law.
"Ben and I were very familiar with Jackson Lewis and marveled at the expansion of their national footprint, especially in the last two years," said Margulies in a news release. "Their national network of offices gives us a real chance of expanding our client base outside of the Jacksonville region."
Jackson Lewis, founded in 1958, has more than 480 attorneys, whose expertise covers over 17 specialized practices of law.
