Philadelphia, PA. (PRWEB) December 11, 2009 -- F. Traynor Beck has joined McCarter & English as a partner in the Corporate practice group in the Philadelphia office. He focuses his practice on corporate, mergers and acquisitions and business law and advises early stage companies with respect to their capital formation needs.

“We are extremely pleased that Tray is joining the firm,” said Michael Kelly, Chairman of McCarter & English. “I have known Tray for many years and know, first-hand, that he is a top-flight attorney. His demonstrated skills in handling all types of corporate matters for a range of clients from multinational corporations to start-ups will serve as a strong complement to the broad array of services we offer our clients.”
