LIVINGSTON, N.J., Nov. 29, 2007 – Brian Bailey, Esq., of Livingston, N.J., and Evan Neadel, Esq., of Hoboken, N.J., have joined the law firm of Becker Meisel LLC as associates. Bailey will focus his practice on corporate law and Neadel will concentrate on litigation. Both had previously served as summer associates at Becker Meisel, which has offices in Livingston and Shrewsbury, N.J., as well as Manhattan.

“The Firm’s formal mentoring program for its summer

associates and “open door” policy of partners were key reasons for my decision to return as an associate,” said Bailey. Becker Meisel views mentoring as a critical component of its summer associate program.
