Hall Dickler Kent Goldstein & Wood

Hall Dickler Kent Goldstein & Wood was a New York-based law firm founded in 1974 upon the merger of two firms that traced their roots back to the 1940s. In 2003 it was absorbed into Reed Smith LLP.[1]

History

The law firm of Hall Casey & Dickler opened for business in 1945. Leonard W. Hall served several times as Republican Party chairman,[2] and ran parts of President Dwight D. Eisenhower's election campaigns. William Casey went on to head the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Export-Import Bank and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Gerald Dickler specialized in the arts and broadcasting, representing a diverse group of clients including Lowell Thomas, Mike Todd, Georgia O’Keefe, Isaac Asimov, Buckminster Fuller, Norman Vincent Peale and Bruce Catton. Dickler was also chairman of the Pollock-Krasner Foundation; and a founder of Capital Cities Communications, in which Casey was also an investor and partner.[3][4] The law firm with which it merged, Lawler Sterling & Kent, was entertainment-law focused.
