MCD Law Partners merges with Baer Crossey to offer legal services to startups
Fort Washington-based MCD Law Partners, a boutique law firm oriented toward startups in the region, is merging with Center City-based law firm, Baer Crossey.
Baer Crossey, a relatively small firm itself, provides legal services to entrepreneurs in the area.
Christopher McDemus, the founding and only partner of MCD Law Partners, will join the three-man group as Managing Partner. You might know him as VC Deal Lawyer from his blog of the same name. [Full Disclosure: VC Deal Lawyer has been a past Technically Philly event sponsor.]
McDemus told Technically Philly that the merger came about as he was trying to figure out how to grow his practice, with just one full time partner — him — and one part-time of counsel, Rebecca Weaver.
“You reach a sort of tipping point where you have to consciously decide, “Do I keep growing this, and find a scalable way to do that, or do I keep it at the current size which is manageable for a solo,” McDemus said. “There’s risk in the latter and, frankly, sitting still isn’t really in my nature so I decided on smart growth.”
