(February 1, 2024) - Commercial finance attorneys Frederick C.C. Boyd III, Tyler R.T. Wolf, Doug Plante and Gregory Preston have joined Barnes & Thornburg LLP's corporate department in Atlanta.

Boyd and Wolf join Barnes & Thornburg as partners, while Plante and Preston will serve as of counsel and associate, respectively, the law firm said in a Jan. 31 statement. The quartet were previously with Morris, Manning & Martin LLP.

They primarily advise financial institutions on transactions related to commercial real estate, hotels, restaurant chains, fitness centers, and convenience and gas stores.
