A Lancaster County-based law firm has completed a merger with another company in Charleston, South Carolina.
Saxton & Stump completed a merger last month with the law firm of Spitz & Neville, and the former firm will now do business under the Saxton & Stump name.
All of the firm’s five attorneys, including Steven Spitz, Elizabeth Palmer, Irish “Ryan” Neville, Jacqueline Egan and Eli Lachenman will practice as a part of Saxton & Stump, along with five other professionals in the office, which is now Saxton & Stump’s South Carolina office. The new office is located at 151 Meeting St., Suite 350.

“We’re extremely pleased to be able to officially bring the Saxton & Stump name to South Carolina,” Saxton & Stump CEO James W. Saxton said in a news release. “It is an important step in our strategic plans for our firm to bring our full platform to South Carolina.”
The office focuses on the following areas of law: mergers and acquisitions, employee benefits and executive compensation, information privacy and cybersecurity, intellectual property, internal investigations, attorney and judicial ethics and discipline, white collar defense, and federal tax law.
The firm’s clients will also have access to services from Saxton & Stump’s other businesses, which include Granite GRC Consulting, which provides healthcare-focused consulting on corporate governance, risk management and information security; Granite HR Consulting, a human resources center; Granite Creative Group, a full-service marketing agency; and Optimal Dispute Resolutions, a company that offers private alternatives to litigation including mediations and arbitrations.
Saxton & Stump is based in Manheim Township, Lancaster County and also has an office in Lower Paxton Township as well as two locations in the Philadelphia area. Saxton & Stump was founded in 2015.
