Law Firm Burr & Forman Expands DC Footprint

Burr & Forman LLP has established a permanent office in Washington, D.C. The move builds on the momentum of the firm’s debut in the market last year and underscores its continued investment in serving clients in government contracts and construction.

The office launched in June 2025 with government contracts and construction partners Dirk Haire, Jessica Haire, and Sean Milani-nia, and has since grown to eight attorneys. Recent additions include partners Michelle West and Kelsey Hayes. The team has relocated to the permanent space on the ninth floor at 99 M Street SE in the Navy Yard neighborhood, after operating from a temporary office within the building.

“Establishing a permanent presence in Washington, D.C. reflects the strength and trajectory of our government contracts and construction practices,” said Ed Christian, Burr’s Managing Partner. “Over the past year, we’ve built a strong team aligned with client needs in this space, and this move underscores our long-term commitment to the market.”
