(Feb. 6) – McGinnis Lochridge recently lured a group of 10 lawyers from rival Austin firm Graves Dougherty Hearon & Moody.

The new additions bump McGinnis Lochridge’s total headcount in Austin to nearly 50 attorneys, while the number of lawyers at Graves Dougherty has dipped below 40.

Six of the 10 laterals moving to McGinnis are partners Ed McHorse, Cliff Ernst, Clark Lutz, Marin Lutz, Doug Jones and Russell Booth. Alison Lenner, Shana McGirl and Martha Todd are associates, while Ali Gallagher is of counsel.

“By adding these lawyers to McGinnis Lochridge, our business/corporate, estate, and tax practices will be second to none,” Doug Dodds, managing partner of McGinnis Lochridge, said in a statement.
