Thanksgiving

The offices of Cary & Lippincott will be closed on Thursday, November 24 and Friday, November 25 for the Thanksgiving holiday. The firm would like to wish all of our clients a happy and safe Thanksgiving!

Office space expansion!

Cary & Lippincott is expanding! As our office needs have grown, Cary & Lippincott is excited to announce that the firm will be expanding our office space at 700 Lavaca St.! The expanded office space will include 2 additional offices, an additional common-area office space, as well as an additional large conference room. If you happen to visit our offices in the coming weeks, please pardon the mess as we re-arrange our offices. Please also be advised that due to the expansion, some of our staff may unable to access their computers for a period of time or may be involved in the moving process (though we will let the movers do the heavy-lifting!). However, the firm will make every effort to keep the "down-time" to a minimum. With two large conference rooms and the ability for a third small conference room, the firm will be able to offer our clients even better accommodations and flexibility for meetings and meditations. We look forward to this exciting change and we hope our clients will enjoy our expanded offices!

Fourth of July

Cary & Lippincott will be closed on Monday, July 4th in celebration of the Fourth of July, and freedom in general.

Memorial Day

In remembrance of those brave men and women throughout our country's history who have made the ultimate sacrifice while serving in the United States military, Cary & Lippincott will be closed on Monday, May 30th, 2011.

Firm Anniversary

Prepare to don your conical party hat, as the Firm is turning four years old! That's right, only four short (but seemingly longer) years ago, on April 1st, 2007, Cary & Lippincott opened its doors. In recognition of the Firm's Anniversary, and in lieu of closing the Firm for other more "established" holidays, Cary & Lippincott will be closed on Friday, April 1st, 2011. That being said, it is difficult to separate an attorney from his or her smartphone, so if you are in need of assistance that day, please send an e-mail to your attorney, preferably marked with "high priority" or "high importance."

Spring Break!

It is getting warmer outside (and more humid), and the mountain laurel is blooming around Austin, filling the air with the sweet aroma of grape soda. That can mean only one thing... Spring! During this time of the year, and in lieu of closing the office for other "established" holidays, Cary & Lippincott has two days in which the firm will operate with a "skeleton" staff, allowing the firm's employees to take a vacation day when while the weather is still nice and mild. Therefore, please be advised that Cary & Lippincott will be operating with a reduced staff on Monday, March 14th, 2011, and on Friday, March 18th, 2011.

Inclement Weather Policy

With all the recent storm activity, we would like to take a moment to pass along how the firm decides when to close the office when confronted with inclement weather so that our clients can better anticipate whether our offices will be open during such events. As our offices are located in downtown Austin, generally it is the firm's policy to follow the lead of Austin Independent School District when it comes to closures or late starts. Therefore, in the event that Austin ISD has announced a late start or outright closure of a school day, it is likely that our office will also be opening late or closed on that day. In the event the office decides to close we will try our best to make that announcement on this blog, as well as via Twitter at "carylippincott" (be sure to follow!). If you need immediate assistance, often the best way to communicate with our staff during these times is via e-mail.

Welcome to the Firm!

Cary & Lippincott is pleased to announce that two new employees have joined the firm. Iain Berry has joined the firm as an Associate Attorney, after several months as a Contract Attorney for the firm. Kimberly Billeaud, a certified paralegal, has also joined the firm.
