Ohio-based Vorys, Sater, Seymour and Pease has added bankruptcy attorney John Sparacino and tax attorney Randell Gartin to the firm’s Houston office as partner and of counsel, respectively. They leave Andrews Kurth and Weil, respectively.
“Four years ago, the Houston office opened with just four attorneys,” said David Oliver, the managing partner of Vorys’ Houston office, in a statement. “We’ve experienced significant growth since then and, with John and Randy joining us, Vorys now has 18 attorneys working here.”
Sparacino, a 1990 graduate of the University of Houston Law Center, focuses his practice on bankruptcy related matters including litigation, receiverships and out-of-court restructurings.
Gartin, a 2001 graduate of SMU’s Dedman School of Law, focuses his practice on international and federal tax matters, including mergers and acquisitions, general corporate and partnership tax issues, and cross-border transactions.
