Ind. Law - "Black-owned law firm has its plate full with array of major city and state projects"
"Black-owned law firm has its plate full with array of major city and state projects" is the headline to a story today by J.K. Wall in the Indianapolis Star. It begins:
iming, they say, is everything. And the timing is good for Coleman Graham & Stevenson. The law firm is just a year old, but it already has doubled its staff while landing work with several high-profile clients.It is co-counsel with Ice Miller for the state authority that is building Lucas Oil Stadium and an expansion to the Indiana Convention Center. It is doing some legal work for the Indianapolis Airport Authority, the Indiana Department of Transportation, Indianapolis Public Schools and Key Bank.
The principals of the firm all have extensive experience in state government. Oh, and they all happen to be black.
Which makes their timing even better.
Coleman Graham & Stevenson formed amid an explosion of major public projects, all of which come with goals for participation by minority-owned firms. At the same time, Indianapolis Mayor Bart Peterson and Gov. Mitch Daniels both have urged their staffs to do more business with minority-owned firms.
