Buchanan Alumni Network - Nurturing connections. Cultivatating collaboration.

Former colleagues and friends –

The past few months at Buchanan have been quite busy and productive. Our annual Day of Service found us working firm-wide fighting food insecurity in our communities. More recently, we have been gathering for annual holiday celebrations while also focused on making sure that our clients finish their year strong. 

For all of us at the firm, this new year poses a lot of excitement. We are deep into execution of our strategic plan (rolled out in early 2023), and we are in growth mode. In November, we announced our merger with RatnerPrestia, a highly regarded IP firm that will strengthen and enhance our already impressive suite of IP capabilities. We look forward to welcoming our new colleagues at the start of the year and integrating them into our team.

As the year comes to a close, I often find myself reflecting on the outstanding work our employees have done over the past twelve months. This year in particular, I have immense gratitude for the hard work, perseverance and dedication that our colleagues have displayed, time after time. From delivering stellar results for our clients to finding new ways to give back to our communities through pro bono work and leadership roles, there is a lot to celebrate. We are blessed with great talent, great people and a wonderful firm culture. Buchanan Proud!

I hope the new year brings you prosperity and many new memories with those you love.

Wishing you health and happiness,

Joe Dougherty
