GROWTH CITED AS REASON FOR NEW LOCATION
Clayton, MO – Danna McKitrick, P.C. has chosen to remain in Clayton and will relocate its offices in 2009 to the Pierre Laclede Center at Forsyth Blvd. and Hanley Road. The firm will expand its space from 17,700 square feet at its present location to 23,000 square feet at Pierre Laclede.
The decision to remain in Clayton followed an extensive search, which included other spaces in Clayton, as well as locations in downtown St. Louis and in the Highway 40 corridor.
“We have added more attorneys in the last several years and plan to add attorneys and staff in the coming year to meet our clients’ needs, and to enable us to better serve new clients. Clayton is convenient for our existing clients and our staff. We have deep roots here, having been located in Clayton for over 20 years.

Ruth Binger, a member of the firm’s executive committee, said the new location is essential to its growth.
“In the past two years, we have added four additional shareholders and will promote an associate to shareholder status at the end of the year, as well as having added associates. We are also looking to expand certain practice areas with lateral hiring or mergers. This move is critical to our firm’s continued expansion and will help accommodate our needs, as we continue to add resources to support our existing clients and provide more depth for new clients coming on board,” she said.
Since 2004 Danna McKitrick, P.C., has grown by 20 percent to 25 attorneys, along with an additional 25 staff members. Revenues and profitability also have grown during 2008, despite turmoil in the economy.

“Danna McKitrick’s continued growth and its economic impact are important assets to our community. We are pleased they chose to remain in Clayton and wish them continued success. Their attorneys have also been major contributors and leaders in the Chamber in recent years”, said Ellen Gale, Executive Director, Clayton Chamber of Commerce.”

Law Firm Danna McKitrick, P.C. Chooses Clayton
WEINSTOCK TO TEACH FINANCE AND BUSINESS ETHICS
St. Louis, MO – Fontbonne University has added Danna McKitrick principal Brian S. Weinstock to their adjunct faculty to teach finance management and business ethics courses. August 20, Weinstock kicks off his financial management course, a core requirement for students pursuing a Bachelor of Business Administration degree.
Weinstock’s course focuses on understanding financial statements, learning the components of both capital structure and financial risk, and calculating the cost of capital. A class project involves creating an investment portfolio, purchasing public equities, and analyzing them by performing a risk assessment.
Always interested in teaching, Weinstock explored the idea with his former Washington University accounting professor who directed him to Fontbonne. Originally seeking to fill business ethics courses, Fontbonne invited Weinstock to teach financial management because of his finance background.
“In both our professional and personal lives, financial issues govern life on a daily basis. I aim to give students a broad perspective on business finance complexities and how a business uses finance when developing and implementing strategic plans,” says Weinstock. “I also want to impart to students financial fundamentals regarding how to generate and grow a personal portfolio of investments to increase their own net worth.”
Weinstock earned his M.B.A., with a concentration in finance and management, from Washington University John M. Olin School of Business. He attended Michigan State University College of Law earning a J.D., cum laude, and obtained his B.A., in political science, from the University of Kansas.
