Standard Title & Escrow PLLC and Stelman Law have merged. With the merger, Jeff Stelman joins Standard Title as partner and brings three employees to the company. 

The acquisition brings Standard Title’s employee count to 25 and takes the firm, which was founded in April 2019, to the “next level,” according to Jim Richards, founder and managing partner. 

“Their name recognition, market share and Jeff’s decades of experience as an innovative educator for buyers and sellers give us great pride and confidence that this merger is exactly the step we need to continue to grow Standard,” Richards said in a press release. “And as we expand, Jeff’s proven managerial skills and the combination of our talented support staffs will be assets to the growing team and our clients alike.”

Stelman, founder of Stelman Law, said the merger allows his firm to “elevate our ‘clients first service model’ to new heights.” 

“Standard, in just a couple short years, has demonstrated an exceptionally keen business acumen resulting in significant, yet responsible growth and strong business partner relationships,” he said. “Post-merger, we share high expectations, founded on our mutual firm values, for Standard to continue on an accelerating growth trajectory that will benefit our clients and business partners.”

Stelman Law will relocate from 100 Conifer Hill Drive in Danvers to Standard Title’s office at 100 Corporate Place, Suite 505, in Peabody.
