Lamb McErlane, a premier regional law firm based in West Chester, and McMichael, Heiney & Sebastian (MHS), a well-established law firm in Oxford, have agreed to merge.

The merger, which took effect at the start of the new year, brings together Lamb McErlane’s 42 attorneys with MHS’s two attorneys in Oxford. The combined firm will operate under the name of Lamb McErlane and will have 44 attorneys with offices in West Chester, Philadelphia, Newtown Square, and Oxford.

Lamb McErlane has been an industry leader in the region for more than 50 years.

The merger expands Lamb McErlane’s footprint, as well as the firm’s Business, Municipal and Zoning, Real Estate, and Trusts and Estates practices. Winifred “Winnie” Moran Sebastian will join Lamb McErlane as a Partner and Sam McMichael as Of Counsel in the Oxford location.

MHS approached Lamb McErlane after working with several Lamb McErlane attorneys and recognizing how the two firms shared a similar culture and vision.

“We’re very excited to accomplish yet another strategic merger. Sam and Winnie have a longstanding successful practice, especially in the municipal field, and we’re happy to now have them under the Lamb McErlane umbrella,” remarked Joel L. Frank, Chairman and Managing Partner of Lamb McErlane. “The addition of this office gives us an immediate presence in the important southern part of Chester County and affords us the opportunity to provide our wide array of services to those companies and individuals located there.”
