The law firm Gawthrop Greenwood, PC marked the relocation of its Greater Wilmington law office, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on May 17.
Now located at 3711 Kennett Pike in Greenville, Gawthrop Greenwood moved its office less than a quarter of a mile from its previous location in Greenville to accommodate growth, while remaining at the heart of the business district at routes 52 and 141.
“It was important to us to remain within this business district, ideally situated within minutes of the courts in downtown Wilmington, but also providing easy access for suburban businesses and area residents,” says Mary Ann Plankinton, a partner at Gawthrop Greenwood, PC and chair of the firm’s Greenville office. “This location is also attractive to a talented and qualified workforce. New attorneys want to live and work in this wonderful area.”
Gawthrop Greenwood first opened an office in Greenville in 2013 to meet client demand in the New Castle County area. The firm selected and hired Delaware attorneys to serve the community and local businesses.
“Some law firms are known to have placed offices in the Greater Wilmington area, but their attorneys have limited local presence there,” says Plankinton. “Our Greenville office attorneys are based here and have deep ties to the surrounding community. It was important to them that the firm open an office where they have long-term relationships with local businesses and residents.”
Today, four of the firm’s 21 attorneys are based in Greenville.
The Greenville office’s major areas of practice include mediation services, family law and family law mediation, trusts and estates, tax planning, corporate and residential real estate, as well as business and corporate law.
