Member Spotlight: Higgs Fletcher & Mack LLP | 80 Years New
Although it is now in its 80th year of serving the legal needs of individuals and businesses in San Diego and beyond, Higgs Fletcher and Mack (HFM) considers itself to be “80 Years New.” While the Firm was founded in 1939 by attorneys Dutch Higgs and Ferd Fletcher, who met while representing clients on opposite sides of a lawsuit, HFM has evolved to become the quintessential modern-day law firm. This year alone, HFM has refreshed its brand and unveiled a new logo, completely remodeled its office suites, introduced a new enhanced user-experience website, and added its stamp to the city skyline, with the Firm’s name prominently positioned atop the building at 401 W. A Street, the Firm’s home.
Today, HFM is comprised of nearly 80 of the city’s top attorneys, with a breadth of experience and expertise across nearly all areas of law and with clients in a variety of industries. As the Firm continues to grow and change with the needs of its clients, value and service remain the core tenets of the Firm’s success. Paramount to HFM’s approach to each client matter are the Firm’s guiding principles. HFM attorneys take on their clients’ issues and challenges as their own, engage in their clients’ success through creative solutions to complex problems and are always prepared, loyal, honest, responsive and above all, professional.
According to HFM’s Managing Partner, Steve Cologne, the Firm is committed to honoring the legacy of its founders while adapting to changing business practices and adopting strategies that will ensure the Firm’s continued success. The Firm also maintains its commitment to serving the community and its efforts to improve diversity in the profession, attributes that will continue to guide the Firm well into the future.
“Higgs Fletcher and Mack has worked diligently to serve businesses, individuals and our broader business and legal community. We aim to always pay homage to those who have made HFM the success it is today, while also addressing modern law firm needs.”
As the Firm looks to the future, it will prioritize planning for the future and highlighting the strengths of the attorneys who comprise the Firm, many of whom have practiced at HFM for over twenty years and have made HFM their professional home. Throughout the remainder of this year, and beyond, HFM will shine a spotlight on the attorneys and clients who have contributed to the Firm’s success and will continue to seek out ways to better serve its clients and the community.
WHY DOWNTOWN:
While HFM serves clients throughout the county and the state, we appreciate being a part of the evolution of San Diego’s downtown business environment and enjoy practicing law from a location at the center of the city’s legal community, in close proximity to our State and Federal courthouses.
