Cincinnati-based Frost Brown Todd (FBT), with offices in Nashville, is merging with New Jersey law firm Gibbons to create FBT Gibbons LLP. The combination, effective Jan. 1, 2026, will create a mid-market firm with approximately 800 attorneys in 25 offices. FBT Chair Robert Sartin, based in Nashville, will serve as chair of the new firm. According to a press release, the merger will deliver “synergies in key industries of strategic focus” — including finance, manufacturing and energy — and “drive growth in corporate and transactional work.” FBT says its clients will benefit from Gibbons’s litigation practice.
