Archer Norris managing partner Gene Blackard was quoted in California Lawyer’s A Helping Hand: Firms vie to aid clients looking to qualify for stimulus funds.

The article noted that “a good sense of timing is essential to winning a slice of the stimulus pie. “Nobody knows exactly where the stimulus money will hit first, and where and when to deploy attorneys to meet the increase in legal work to best effect,” says Eugene Blackard, Jr., managing partner at Archer Norris in Walnut Creek. Even so, he adds, his firm is hiring more attorneys in anticipation of a spike in work for its land use and business practice groups."
