Five New Attorneys Join Montage Legal Group

Montage Legal is proud to announce that we’ve added five outstanding litigation and transactional attorneys to our network: Samantha Everett, Laura Finklestein, Katie Hughes and Sidney Sadeghi. 

Update: After publishing this blog post, we had to say goodbye to both Katie Hughes and Sidney Sadeghi, but for great reasons!  We are happy to report that Katie Hughes has joined the estate planning law firm of Albrecht & Barney (a client of Montage Legal Group) and Sidney Sadeghi welcomed a beautiful baby girl and is practicing law through her own law firm, Sadeghi & Associates. We wish both of these attorneys good luck! For information on six new attorneys that we recently added, see our blog post: Montage Adds Six Lawyers from Gibson Dunn, Latham & Watkins, Bryan Cave, Baker & McKenzie and Other Firms.
