Historic Kentucky firm Stoll Keenon Ogden acquired business and real estate boutique Applegate Fifer Pulliam this week in a move that expands its reach into southern Indiana while strengthening some corporate capabilities where it has seen recent demand.

The move by the Louisville-based midsize firm expands it to a growing area across the Ohio River in Jeffersonville, Indiana, while bolstering its real estate, commercial finance, and business services practices, firm officials said.
