July 24, 2024 | Murtha Cullina recently welcomed Silvio J. Talarico to the firm as Chief Financial Officer. Silvio is based out of the firm’s Boston office. With more than 25 years of experience in executive leadership roles at large, mid-sized and boutique law firms, Silvio has led the integration of combining law firms, technology infrastructure transformation projects, the implementation of advanced systems to create efficiencies, employee performance management and the management of real estate portfolios.
“We are happy to welcome Silvio to the firm as a key member of our leadership team. Silvio will play a pivotal role in readying Murtha Cullina for the upcoming combination with Harris Beach while simultaneously managing the firm’s day-to-day financial operations,” notes Managing Partner, Andy Corea.
As Chief Financial Officer, Silvio oversees all aspects of the firm’s financial operations and reporting functions. His responsibilities include financial analysis and planning, financial reporting, billing and collections, accounting, budgeting, tax analysis, partner compensation, accounts payable and payroll.
The addition of Silvio to the firm comes two weeks after Murtha Cullina and Harris Beach announced the approval of an Operating Agreement that will govern their combined firm. The new firm will be known as Harris Beach Murtha once the firms officially combine on January 1, 2025. Murtha Cullina and Harris Beach are each leading law firms in their respective geographies and offer complementary services. Together, Harris Beach Murtha will offer greater strength and reach throughout an expanded geographical footprint on the Northeast Corridor and throughout upstate and Western New York, accelerating the growth strategy of both firms. The combination will create more robust capabilities to meet and exceed clients’ needs and support them as they navigate increasingly complex legal and regulatory environments.
