The Clarient Group will continue to operate under its current name while expanding CannonDesign’s capabilities in smart building strategy, technology infrastructure design and digital operations. Known for its work on high-profile developments and its deep industry expertise, The Clarient Group brings added strength to CannonDesign’s integrated approach to the built environment.

Lippes Mathias’ mergers & acquisitions practice, which is led by Rich, includes some of the most experienced attorneys in the firm and routinely counsels existing entities and investment groups in connection with multimillion-dollar stock and asset purchases, mergers, and divestitures. The team is involved at the earliest stages of structuring transactions to both increase value and manage risk. Once structured, members of the team negotiate transaction documents, efficiently drawing on their experience representing clients ranging in size from local, family-owned businesses to large, public companies.
