Drinker Biddle & Reath has hired away a longtime Montgomery McCracken Walker & Rhoads partner to its private client group.
Larissa Whitman joined the firm as a partner in the Philadelphia office, where she will focus her practice on the representation of high-net-worth individuals and families in a range of estate planning, personal legal and tax planning services.
“Larissa is a wonderful addition to our private client group,” Lisa Presser, chair of the group, said in a statement. “She has a high-profile client roster and is well regarded in our practice area. I am confident she will be a strong resource for our clients.”
Prior to several years with Montgomery McCracken, where she was a partner, Whitman worked as an associate at Morgan, Lewis & Bockius and Dechert. Whitman is also a certified public accountant.
With Whitman’s addition, Drinker Biddle now has 17 attorneys in its private client group.
