“It is an exciting time to join Corgan,” said Brent Zeigler, Dyer Brown’s President and Principal. “From the start, it was clear that this was more than an acquisition—it was a values match. Corgan’s global platform will create new opportunities for our team and our clients, and we’re confident this move allows us to grow while continuing to do the work we love.”
