Meyers Nave Adds Chip Eady

Meyers Nave, an Oakland-based firm that specializes in public law, hired Edsell “Chip” Eady to bolster its public finance practice.

Eady, previously a partner at Nixon Peabody, will work as both disclosure and bond counsel. The graduate of University of Michigan Law School and Harvard College has been a bond lawyer for 30 years.

Eady is the second new hire for the firm in recent months and brings the number of lawyers in the practice to seven. In March, Meyers Nave hired Samuel Sperry, formerly of Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, to focus on land-secured financing, including special tax and assessment financing.

“We’re enthused about this strategic expansion of the financing tools that we can offer our clients, which will enable us to better aid them both in this economy and as the economy improves,” said Sky Woodruff, head of the firm’s public finance practice group.
