A name changer for a historic law firm in Ottawa. Finch Covington and Boyd will celebrate it’s 150th anniversary by reverting back to Harris, Kelsey Chartered. The name refers to the firms historical partners. Formed in 1870 by Alfred Benson who served as Ottawa’s Mayor County Attorney, as a state legislator, U.S. Senator, District Court Judge and eventually a Kansas Supreme Court Justice.
