New York City-headquartered Snowden Lane Partners, the wealth advisory firm, has hired a pair of advisors – Alex Bryer and Keith Mayo – from Merrill Lynch.

The Mayo-Bryer Group is based in Snowden Lane’s new Bethesda, MD, office, joined by Ryan Perraut, a private wealth advisor, and Heather Talesnick, a client relationship manager.

Bryer and Mayo both join as partners and managing directors of the group, which oversees $240 million in client assets and serves wealthy individuals, families, corporations and philanthropic institutions.

Snowden Lane, which operates an RIA and affiliated broker-dealer, now has over $2 billion in total client assets.

In April, the firm relocated its Manhattan headquarters to Madison Avenue to accommodate the addition of more advisors.
