Love and Long, L.L.P. Forms Strategic Diversity Alliance With Porzio, Bromberg & Newman, P.C.
April 1, 2009
To better meet the expectations of clients and demands of the marketplace, Love and Long, L.L.P., located
in Newark, New Jersey and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Porzio, Bromberg & Newman, P.C. (“Porzio”),
located in Morristown and Princeton, New Jersey and New York City, today announced the formation of a
strategic diversity alliance. The alliance enables each firm to expand its client base and provide clients with
a team of sophisticated attorneys of diverse backgrounds in a variety of legal practice areas.
“Through this alliance,” explains Lisa D. Love, Managing Partner of Love and Long, “our firm will be able to
increase the number of large corporate clients that we represent by increasing our depth of expertise and
staff, which will permit us to handle larger and more sophisticated transactions. We will also be able to fulfill
mutual goals of applying value and creativity to solving legal problems, sustaining an inclusive workforce of
the best and brightest attorneys and personnel, and exemplifying leadership in our community and our
profession.”
The alliance focuses on joint representation of clients on cases and projects in which Love and Long require
the resources of a large firm or in which Porzio clients request minority staffing and/or the services of a
Newark or a Philadelphia firm. According to D. Jeffrey Campbell, Porzio’s Managing Principal and Chair of
the firm’s Workplace Diversity Committee, “This alliance presents many exciting opportunities, from
enhanced client service, to cross referrals, to joint client pitches, to providing our junior diverse employees
with outstanding mentors and role models. It also increases the geographic reach of each firm, through our
New York office and their Philadelphia office.”
Renée Davis, Porzio’s Diversity Manager, and Christopher P. DePhillips, a Principal of Porzio, envisioned
and promoted the development of the strategic diversity relationship. Ms. Davis says, “It is a solid
demonstration of Porzio’s ongoing commitment to diversity in the legal profession. The alliance increases
the ability of each firm to attract work it might not otherwise obtain. It also provides additional talented
minority attorneys to work with existing Porzio clients.”
“Renée and I were immediately impressed with Lisa Love’s and Reggie Long’s dynamic, easy-going
personalities, and their legal expertise and experience,” states Mr. DePhillips. “Given our obvious practice
synergies, we expect the alliance to be a success and we look forward to working on matters and projects in
which both firms can add value, especially in these economic times. By entering into this alliance with Love
and Long, we continue to show our clients that we are committed to diversity.”
Love and Long, L.L.P., which was formed in 1992, is a boutique, minority and woman-owned business
practicing in the areas of banking and institutional investing, corporate law, real estate, municipal and public
agencies law, and related litigation. It has offices in Newark, New Jersey and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. For
