We
have
some
unfortunate
news
to
report
out
of
Washington,
D.C.,
where
one
of
the
founding
partners
of
well-known
midsize
firm
Beveridge
&
Diamond
recently passed
away.
More
than
50
years
ago,
Albert
Beveridge
III,
90,
founded
the
firm
now
known
as
Beveridge
&
Diamond,
with
two
of
his
childhood
friends
from
Indiana,
the
late
attorneys
William
Ruckelshaus
and
Richard
Fairbanks.
The
trio
later
brought
on
Henry
Diamond,
and
from
then
on,
the
firm
began
to
flourish
into
one
of
the
nation’s
most
prominent
the
environmental
law
and
litigation
practices.
Beveridge
&
Diamond
now
has
more
than
175
lawyers
and
seven
offices
across
the
country.
The
firm
offered
the
following
statement
on
Beveridge’s
passing
to
the
National
Law
Journal:
“Albert
fueled
Beveridge
&
Diamond’s
early
success,
counseling
clients
on
high-stakes
corporate
transactions
and
strategic
matters,
and
nurtured
a
firm
culture
grounded
in
intellectual
curiosity,
collegiality
and
public
service.”
Beveridge,
a
Harvard
Law
graduate,
continued
to
serve
the
firm
as
Senior
Counsel
until
his
death,
and
was
often
called
upon
to
give
historical
lessons
about
environmental
law,
as
well
as
the
firm’s
origins.
We
here
at
Above
the
Law
would
like
to
extend
our
condolences
to
Albert
Beveridge’s
family,
friends,
and
colleagues
during
this
difficult
time.

&
Diamond
