Houston litigation and business law firm BoyarMiller on Jan 1. acquired Young, Graves & Burt, a probate and estate litigation firm in Houston, adding two lawyers and a new practice handling estate planning and probate litigation.

Jill Young joined BoyarMiller as of counsel, and Christopher Burt joined as a senior associate. The other lawyer at Young Graves, Adrianne Graves, is now at Graves Law PLLC in Houston.

The acquisition unites Young, who founded Young Graves in 2018, with BoyarMiller chairman Chris Hanslik, a longtime friend and moot court partner in law school at South Texas College of Law Houston.
