Musick Peeler & Garrett LLP's strategic expansion to the East Coast with new offices in Charlottesville, VA, and Washington, D.C., enhances its national and international client service capabilities.

Musick Peeler & Garrett LLP has announced a significant expansion to the East Coast, establishing new offices in Charlottesville, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. This strategic move introduces a team of experienced attorneys from Zoblaw, including Duane Zobrist, Garrett Barlow, Andrew Muhlestein, and Zach Smith, who bring expertise in business transactions, real estate, tax and estate planning, and litigation. The expansion is co-led by Stephen Bradford, a veteran Musick Peeler partner, and Garrett Barlow, whose proficiency in business transactions, tax, and dispute resolution is well-regarded.
The decision to expand into Virginia and D.C. was influenced by existing personal and professional relationships and the increasing client opportunities in the region, as stated by Rich Galofaro, Co-Managing Partner of Musick Peeler. The addition of the new team members, who are admitted to practice in California, the District of Columbia, Virginia, and Utah, significantly enhances the firm's ability to handle both transactional and litigation matters across the country and supports its growing international client base.
With this expansion, Musick Peeler aims to better serve cross-border matters and attract global clients seeking a U.S. presence. The firm's partnership with Ally Law, a global network of affiliated law firms, is expected to be further strengthened through the expanded geographic reach and added capabilities.
