SYRACUSE, N.Y. — CCBLaw — a Syracuse law firm known for its work with health care, business, and labor and employment clients — has combined with Buffalo–based Lippes Mathias LLP. Eleven attorneys (including two set to be admitted on June 17), along with eight staff members, have joined Lippes Mathias as part of the move, per the June 3 announcement. CCBLaw operates at 507 Plum St. in Syracuse. With this combination, Lippes Mathias now has 195 total attorneys with 158 staff and 15 offices across the country. “When we execute our growth vision, we continue to emphasize the right cultural synergies, and the match with CCBLaw is no exception,” Kevin Cross, Lippes Mathias’ managing partner and chairman, said in the announcement. “The new Lippes attorneys bring exceptional experience and capabilities that pair perfectly with our health care team — creating one of the largest health care practices outside of New York City. I’m proud to note that this expansion also marks a significant milestone in Lippes Mathias’ growth story as our national footprint of 15 locations now reaches every major New York market.” CCBLaw provides legal and consulting services to health-care clients, including group medical practices, private practice physicians, dentists, and allied health professionals, hospitals, ACOs, physician organizations, independent practice associations, ambulatory surgery centers, and other facilities throughout the U.S., per the Lippes Mathias announcement. “This is the right move at the right time, compounding value and opportunity for both groups,” Michael Compagni, former CCBLaw managing member and new Syracuse office leader, said in the release. “Our entire team is excited to join Lippes Mathias —well-known and regarded for its people-first approach to the business of law. Lippes’ emphasis on culture creates an environment where attorneys and staff thrive. We’re thrilled to be a part of a growing firm that is doing it differently.” Marc Beckman, a founding member of CCBLaw, will co-lead Lippes Mathias’ health-care practice team alongside Brigid Maloney, a partner with Lippes Mathias.
