A Message from the CEO

January 5, 2023 

Friends,

I wanted to be the first to tell you about an exciting new chapter for our parent company, Nexsen Pruet, and what it means for NP Strategy.

The partners at Nexsen Pruet have decided to merge with Maynard Cooper & Gale– a national law firm headquartered in Alabama. Together, they will be known as Maynard Nexsen effective April 1, 2023. This newly formed firm will have more than 550 lawyers, serving clients in 23 offices located from coast to coast across the United States.

NP Strategy, a wholly owned subsidiary of Nexsen Pruet, will be owned by Maynard Nexsen. Our name will remain NP Strategy, but we hope to add several more talented professionals across our new markets in 2023!

You can read the full news release for the merger and watch a video here. The Associated Press also wrote an exclusive story about the merger and that can be found here.

NP Strategy has had the pleasure of working with clients across the country since our group’s inception, but now with a national network of offices, our quickly growing team will be able to offer services to an even broader footprint and meet new partners where they are.

If you, your company or any related connection could benefit from working with us, please reach out to me or another member of our NP Strategy leadership team. We stand ready to help with any strategic communications needs.

Thank you for your partnership over the past several years. NP Strategy’s success and growth are due in large part to our network of wonderful partners and colleagues like you.

My Best,

Heather Hoopes Matthews

CEO, NP Strategy
