SAN FRANCISCO — Luce, Forward, Hamilton & Scripps and McKenna Long & Aldridge are pushing forward with their merger plans even as a few California leaders jump ship.

Another San Diego partner, Edward “Pat” Swan Jr., who’s been head of the firm’s white-collar practice group, is preparing to leave for Jones Day, said Luce, Forward Managing Partner Kurt Kicklighter.
