Jones and Francis Lamb.[3] The firm has had three of their attorneys serve as president of the Wisconsin Bar Association.[3] As of January 2015, they had 168 cases before the Wisconsin Supreme Court.[3] The firm took the name Axley Brynelson in 1988[2] with the merger of Brynelson, Herrick, Buchaida, Dorchel and Armstrong with Easton & Harms.[7] At that time, the newly formed company was the largest tenant of the new Manchester Place office building at 2 East Mifflin in Madison occupying 2 floors (20,000 sqft).[7]
