Terms of the deal, which will close Aug. 31, were not disclosed. Although Mariner has a presence in Pennsylvania, this will be the firm’s first office in Pittsburgh.

Commonwealth will assume the Mariner name when the deal closes, and the location will remain under the leadership of Robert Lohman, who founded the firm in 1988.
