LS3P CEO Marc Marchant said the merger will tap into key strengths of the two companies.
“Having an office location in Jacksonville will allow us to better serve our clients and communities across the region,” he said in the release.
“Welcoming our new partners, Tom (Norman) and Scott (Brady), and the entire Jacksonville team, will allow us to benefit from their long-standing relationships and share our firm-wide expertise in North Florida,” he said in the release.
