SAN ANTONIO—Opened in 2011, Chamberlain Hrdlicka's office at Weston Centre located at 112 East Pecan St. has experienced a good deal of growth in the last couple of years. Since January 2016, the firm has more than tripled its footprint there, growing from five to 15 attorneys, and expanding its Employee Retirement Income Security Act and employee benefits, tax-exempt organizations, tax planning and tax controversy practices.
Most recently, Joshua Sutin and Katherine Noll joined the firm as shareholders, and Jillian Gordon Foerster, Erin Hamilton Jansen, Lauren D. Parker and Leo Unzeitig as associates. In April, the firm announced a new San Antonio litigation team that includes David Calvillo, John Muller and former Texas Supreme Court Justice David Medina.
Fast forward six years and the law firm has procured a long-term extension and expansion of the lease on its downtown office. Under the terms of the new agreement, Chamberlain Hrdlicka will take the majority of the 14th floor of Weston Centre and extend its commitment to the location through 2025. This move will add offices and a conference center.
“The addition of these attorneys has allowed us to open up a wall to get more space, and this added space enhances our ability to work with Houston attorneys. And, the facility amenities such as the fitness club encouraged us to stay in the building,” John Meredith, chief operating officer for Chamberlain Hrdlicka, tells GlobeSt.com. “The oil and gas expansion has been an impetus for San Antonio growth and we are happy to stay here.”
Bradley Fulkerson and Larry Mendez with Transwestern represented Chamberlain Hrdlicka in the transaction, and Hayley Ruggles and David Held of Endura Advisory Group represented the San Antonio-based landlord, Santa Clara Land Company Ltd.
“Weston Centre's recent investment in its club-level amenities and our efforts to engage the building's community have created a premier location that mirrors the sophisticated tenor of our tenants, including Chamberlain Hrdlicka,” Ruggles added.
Tara Mitchell of Insite Architects is the lead architect for the expansion and renovation of the office.
“Our decision to remain in this iconic building located on the city's renowned Riverwalk, coupled with our investment to renovate and expand our office space, reflects Chamberlain Hrdlicka's excitement and dedication to our continued grow in San Antonio,” said Chad Muller, shareholder in Chamberlain Hrdlicka's San Antonio office.
Chamberlain Hrdlicka has additional offices in Atlanta and Philadelphia plus Houston.
