In general Studley is looking to expand its headcount, Paul Schweitzer, executive vice president and branch manager of the Tyson's Corner office, tells GlobeSt.com. "We don't have a specific number in mind but our focus is in hiring good people right now." The merger of Jones Lang LaSalle and Staubach represents new opportunities for the firm, he adds, because it positions Studley as one of the leading global firms for tenant representation.

Kevin Johnson is joining Studley as managing director in the firm's Washington, DC office. He will assist commercial and federal tenants, including those under the General Services Administration National Broker Contract, with the construction of tenant improvements and related services. Johnson was responsible for program management on the GSA National Broker Contract at CB Richard Ellis. He was also vice president of development and project management for Trammell Crow's Chicago office.
