"We reached a milestone with our 10th anniversary and we continue to grow," says Gary Kull, who cofounded the firm with Christopher Carroll and Joseph McNulty. "Our firm's client base and practice areas are expanding and our existing client relationships are providing more opportunities."

CMK, originally based in a converted stable/barn in Far Hills, NJ before moving here in 2005, now includes 38 attorneys. "We plan to continue to expand by hiring both first-year associates and seasoned attorneys," says Kull. "We are also seeking to acquire smaller law firms in New York, New Jersey or Pennsylvania as part of our growth strategy."

The firm's offices are located at 120 Mountain View Blvd., a four-story, seven-year-old, 131,000-sf building owned by the Parsippany-based SJP Properties. It's part of the larger 169-acre, six-building, 821,000-sf Mountain View Corporate Center owned by SJP. Terms of the expanding lease were not released. Barnes & Noble College Bookstores Inc. is the building's other major tenant, and Barnes & Noble is a retail tenant.

CMK also opened a New York office in 2002, at 570 Lexington Ave., and as part of its ongoing expansion is in the process of increasing its space there to 10,000 sf.
