COURTNEY MERRIMAN

Barclay Damon has named COURTNEY MERRIMAN, partner, to replace Connie Cahill, deputy managing partner, as co-chair of the firm’s Women’s Forum alongside Carol Snider, mass & toxic torts practice area chair. The move is due in part to Cahill’s planned elevation to managing partner of the firm at the end of the year. Merriman is a member of the firm’s real estate and financial institutions & lending practice areas. She is also a member of the Central New York Women’s Bar Association as well as a board of directors member for Catholic Charities of Onondaga County and the Baltimore Woods Nature Center, Inc.; board of directors secretary for Prevention Network; a family court clinic volunteer at the Onondaga County Bar Association Volunteer Lawyers Project; and a weekly volunteer at the Samaritan Center.
