“While we are certainly sorry to see such a respected institution as Middleton-Reutlinger close, we are thrilled that these talented, experienced attorneys and staff have chosen to write a new chapter with McBrayer,” said Managing Member James H. Frazier, III. “It is an honor to be joined by individuals who share our vision for the future and share McBrayer’s commitment to community and diversity, equity, and inclusion. This is indeed an exciting next chapter for our Louisville office, which has already seen significant growth in the last few years.”
