Toledo law firms plan January merger as Marshall Curphey

Marshall & Melhorn and RCO Law plan to combine under the name Marshall Curphey on Jan. 1, 2027, according to an Oct. 13 announcement from RCO Law.

The firms say the combination will expand their legal resources and expertise while supporting investment in technology and operations. These are the firms’ stated goals for the planned merger.

Their new website describes a practice serving individuals, families, businesses, educational institutions, public entities and nonprofit organizations in northwest Ohio, southeast Michigan and beyond.

Both firms have Toledo roots. Marshall & Melhorn traces its founding to Edwin Marshall’s practice in 1895, while RCO Law traces its history to 1874.

The Marshall Curphey website identifies January 2027 as the start of the new organization and provides links to the firms’ current teams.
