Richard Yawitz has joined the law firm of Curtis, Heinz, Garrett and O’Keefe, P.C., as a principal, where he will focus primarily on mergers and acquisitions, taxation, corporate and closely held business matters.   Yawitz joins CHGO with 35 years of experience, where his blend of transactional experience and his background as a certified public accountant will be particularly valuable to clients requiring a combination of technical knowledge and strategic advice.

“We’re thrilled to have Rich on board here at CHGO,” says Carl Lumley, firm president, principal and attorney. “His tax background and experience as a CPA adds depth to the firm, strengthening our resources and opportunities in the corporate arena.”

Yawitz believes that achieving best results for a client starts with understanding the client’s underlying business. “To that end, I’m happy to join a firm that has depth in closely-held business and related matters,” Yawitz says. “I look forward to serving our business clientele and delivering the results CHGO is known for achieving.”
