Spencer Fane has officially completed its combination with Conner & Winters, LLP, significantly expanding the firm's presence across Oklahoma and Texas while establishing its first office in Arkansas. The combination became effective July 1 and strengthens Spencer Fane's ability to serve clients throughout the Southwest.  

The addition of Conner & Winters brings Spencer Fane to more than 750 attorneys across 38 offices nationwide, expanding the firm's reach while bringing together two organizations with shared commitments to collaboration, innovation and client service.  

"Joining Spencer Fane marks an exciting new chapter for our attorneys and clients alike," said R. Kevin Redwine, former managing partner of Conner & Winters. "The Spencer Fane national platform, deep bench of talent and forward-looking approach create meaningful opportunities to expand the services and resources available to our clients while providing our attorneys with new avenues for growth and professional development."  

Spencer Fane Chair Patrick J. Whalen said the combination reflects the firm's long-term strategy of growing alongside firms that share its commitment to collaboration and exceptional client service. 

"We have always believed that sustainable growth starts with finding lawyers and professionals who share our commitment to collaboration, excellence and client-centric service," Whalen said. "Their talent, culture and dedication to client service make them a natural fit for Spencer Fane, and we are excited to welcome them to the firm."  

The combination is Spencer Fane's third this year, following recent expansions in Washington, D.C., New York and Chicago.
