PERSONNEL FILE: Steptoe & Johnson set to occupy new building

CLARKSBURG -– Construction on Steptoe & Johnson's four-story, 78,000 square foot building is now complete.

The building is situated along the I-79 corridor as part of the White Oaks development in Bridgeport. West Virginia's largest regional law firm will be the primary occupant in a building that bears the Steptoe & Johnson name.

The firm has been completing a well-orchestrated move from the downtown location that has been home to the firm's Clarksburg office for almost 100 years. The office will re-open at its new location in Bridgeport on Monday, Aug. 9.

"North Central West Virginia is where Phillip Steptoe and Louis Johnson started the firm nearly 100 years ago, and we remain committed to Harrison County, the State of West Virginia and the region today," said Clarksburg Office Managing Member Gary Nickerson. "Our new office at White Oaks in Bridgeport is the next phase in a vision for the future that began here with two lawyers in 1913."

Steptoe & Johnson is a regional business-focused firm with strengths in energy, labor, employment and litigation. It comprises more than 180 lawyers resident in eight locations throughout West Virginia, Ohio and Kentucky.
