One of the worst articles I’ve ever read. I’m a client of BA and have known Signature for years. Meandering, poor context, etc. but to blindly call Brown Advisory as an old boy culture (which is offensive on its own submission) misses the point. Brown Advisory has and is leading a change in the industry around diversity, inclusion, advancement of younger colleagues, etc and the very reason Ms. Shumadine and Ms. Colpitts felt
so comfortable with the merger was beacause the two firm’s cultures match so well. You should do more digging and know more about the two firms before you write an article. It is clear you looked up the ADV and started typing. It’s a shame.
