When Luce Forward, Hamilton & Scripps LLP merged with McKenna Long & Aldridge LLP on March 6, franchise litigator Jeffrey L. Fillerup became a partner in the new firm, now known as McKenna Long & Aldridge LLP. From the San Francisco office, Fillerup said that the firm will develop a franchise practice that will utilize its strong presence in California, Atlanta, and Washington, DC. “Attorneys at McKenna Long already had franchise clients, but now we will get together and build that practice, both in litigation and transactional work,” Fillerup said. “It will include working with clients in Canada and Mexico, as well as U.S. franchisors who operate in those countries.” Fillerup will remain focused solely in litigation; he said he's had six trials in the last two years.
