The expanded firm will have more than three dozen attorneys, and several more practice areas than the two firms had independently
Jacksonville, FL (July 24, 2025) – Fisher Tousey has combined with Upchurch, Bailey and Upchurch, adding several areas of expertise and a respected team of lawyers to its growing practice in Northeast Florida.
St. Augustine-based Upchurch, Bailey and Upchurch is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year and is well-known for its land use, environmental law, education law, trust and estates, real estate and banking practice.
As Fisher Tousey incorporates this expanded practice area, all Upchurch attorneys will remain located in their historic St. Augustine office, which will be known as Upchurch, Bailey and Upchurch, A Fisher Tousey Firm.
“We are proud to bring Upchurch, Bailey and Upchurch into the Fisher Tousey family,” Fisher Tousey Managing Director Trevor Ross said. “This is an important partnership that allows us to serve our existing clients in more ways and continue to expand in St. Johns County, one of the fastest-growing areas in the Southeast.”
Fisher Tousey specializes in trusts and estate planning, tax planning, corporate law, real estateand litigation, and adding a firm with different practice areas is why this decision makes sense, Ross said.
“We are incredibly proud of the work we’ve done for families and businesses in St. Augustine and that work will not change,” said Michael Siragusa, managing partner of Upchurch, Bailey and Upchurch. “As we looked to find a partner for the next 100 years, we wanted a firm that would uphold the same high standards and values that are important to us and our clients. We found that partner in Fisher Tousey.”
The combination became official July 1.
