“Dallas is a vibrant and prosperous business community, and we are thrilled to open an office here and attract such an outstanding group of lawyers,” Grant Palmer, Blank Rome Chairman and Managing Partner, said in a statement. I'm excited to get started.” “Establishing an office in Dallas has been a strategic priority for our company for some time to better serve our customers who are based in or doing business in Dallas and North Texas.”

“We all know that Blank Rome fully understands and appreciates the strategic importance of Dallas to our success as a national hub and is focused on growing in the market. It was obvious,” Rueter said.
