Wisconsin Eagle/10157450

PHOENIX - WisconsinEagle -- Fennemore, 2021's fastest-growing BigLaw firm in the country according to Law.com, announced today the hiring of seven new attorneys. The firm also announced the promotion of two associate attorneys to the director level.

In Arizona, the firm's shareholders recently elected two new directors: Jennifer Clyde and Brian Heiserman. Both attorneys work out of Fennemore's Phoenix office, and their promotions will become effective in 2022.

Clyde is a business litigator whose practice focuses on complex litigation of contract and tort claims for both plaintiffs and defendants. Often working on legal malpractice matters involving the "case within the case," Clyde is adept at handling intricate issues of causation, damages, and attorney-client privilege.

Heiserman focuses his practice in commercial litigation where he has represented a financial institution in a complex case against a software vendor, where the matter settled favorably. Heiserman also works in water law, and represents clients in their claims to water rights.

"I am so proud and happy for Jennifer and Brian," noted Fennemore's CEO, James Goodnow. "Both are exceptional lawyers and people, and the firm is lucky to have them in their new roles."

Fennemore's Phoenix office also welcomed five new attorneys: Brandon Blakely, Shane Parker, Daniel Restrepo, Jason Thomas and Dylan Wilson.
