‘A natural extension’
Founded in 1977, Greenberg Dauber Epstein & Tucker focuses on commercial litigation, white collar criminal defense, alternative dispute resolution, employment and corporate matters.
Tucker believes the synergy between the two firms “made it clear that joining CSG Law would be a natural extension to our work.”
“We have worked with many of the firm’s attorneys in a variety of matters over the years, and we have always been impressed with the CSG’s business model and culture,” he added.
Dauber said, “Working alongside attorneys that I have litigated against and with over the years is something I am looking forward to. We also believe that by drawing on the CSG’s wide variety of practices we will be able to offer seamless services to our clients.”
