Law firms expand

A pair of law firms announced separate expansion plans this week.

Lawrenceville-based Stark & Stark took over a Cherry Hill firm. Robert Newman and Jeffrey Weiner, both commercial litigators, joined the firm. The move is an effort to expand the firm's reach into South Jersey, officials said.

To the north, Drinker Biddle & Reath -- with offices in Princeton and Florham Park -- is almost doubling the size of it's Chicago office. The firm is leasing 17,400 square- feet in the Central Loop.
