Withum Absorbs Chatsworth-Based Farber Hass Hurley LLP

Michel Abedian, the partner-in-charge at Farber Hass Hurley, cited a shared focus on professional integrity and a people-first culture as the primary drivers behind the transition. For clients, the merger promises access to a broader suite of resources while maintaining the relationship-driven service model that defined the Chatsworth firm since its founding in 1990.

Withum CEO Pat Walsh highlighted the strategic importance of the Los Angeles market, noting that the acquisition adds depth to their existing consulting and assurance practices. The expanded team brings specialized expertise across sectors including media and entertainment, life sciences, private equity, and technology. This acquisition follows Withum’s long-standing strategy of scaling its national presence by absorbing established local firms that prioritize hands-on partner involvement.
