Since its inception in 1987 in Owings Mills, Maryland, Offit Kurman has grown to 15 offices in eight states and the District of Columbia, with nearly 250 attorneys and 450 employees. Offit Kurman has had remarkable success and growth, doubling in size in the last four years, fueled by recent expansion in New York City and Charlotte, North Carolina. Despite the challenges presented by the pandemic, the firm experienced growth in 2020, opening two new offices in the Southeast in last twelve months. Much of Offit Kurman’s growth has been built on lateral affiliation with lawyers and lawyer groups and acquisition of law firms. The firm offers lateral attorneys an objective performance-based compensation model and unique working environment that embraces innovation.
The firm’s President and Managing Principal Tim Lynch said, “Offit Kurman’s continued success can be largely attributed to our talent acquisition process and composition of like-minded attorneys who flourish in an entrepreneurial environment and are buoyed by a unique operational structure. Our clients have benefitted from this continued approach and, ultimately, we have them to thank for where we are today.”
