Managing Partner Dustin Vrabel, alongside Partner-in-Charge Chris Niekamp and Chairman Emeritus Steve Dimengo, hosted the event to celebrate the firm's deep-rooted history in the city. Vrabel credited the firm’s endurance to the relationships built with clients and local partners over the last hundred years, framing the move as a tangible commitment to the community’s ongoing development.

Akron Mayor Shammas Malik attended the proceedings, highlighting the firm’s relocation as a key component of the city’s broader revitalization strategy. Malik noted that the presence of established institutions acts as a catalyst for growth in the local residential and hospitality sectors. The new office space serves as a central hub for the firm’s operations across Northeast Ohio, underlining a strategic pivot toward downtown Akron as a primary center for regional commerce and professional innovation.
