Murphy Schiller & Wilkes LLP has deepened its bench in multiple practice groups, announcing Sean Callahan and Briana Stackpole as the latest additions to its Newark-based team.
Callahan, a partner in MSW’s construction law and litigation practice groups, joins the firm with more than 25 years as a practicing lawyer. That includes representing some of the most prominent developers, owners, general contractors, subcontractors, construction managers and design professionals in New York and New Jersey, most recently serving as a partner at one of New Jersey’s top full-service law firms.
He earned a law degree from the University of Georgia School of Law and his undergraduate degree from Davidson College.
“I have known Sean for 10 years and we are thrilled to be adding him to our rapidly expanding practice,” said Anthony Capasso, chair of MSW’s litigation and construction law practice groups. “Sean is an exceptional resolution-oriented attorney who appreciates that, as litigators, we are justified by the results that we achieve for our clients. Sean has secured countless hard-fought victories for his clients at the very highest levels of New York and New Jersey practice.”
Stackpole, meantime, joins the firm as counsel in its transactional practice group, where she’ll represent its many institutional clients in connection with a variety of transactional, leasing and financing matters in New Jersey and New York and throughout the country, according to a news release. Prior to joining MSW, she was an attorney at an AM100 law firm, handling complex commercial real estate transactions throughout the country.
She holds a law degree from Brooklyn Law School and her bachelor’s from Muhlenberg College.
“We are incredibly excited to welcome Briana to MSW. Briana joins the firm after obtaining considerable experience at her prior firm in New York City, and I have no doubt that she will quickly become an important member of MSW’s transactional group,” said Matthew J. Schiller, a founding member of the firm. “At MSW, we are continuously striving to attract and develop the best talent in the marketplace in order to provide unparalleled legal services to our clients. We look forward to watching Briana continue to advance her career at MSW and enhance our team with her considerable skillset.”
