SAN FRANCISCO — The lateral marketplace has been anything but sleepy so far this summer, with Latham & Watkins, Reed Smith and K&L Gates all welcoming new partners.

Latham poached emerging companies partner Daniel Burnham from corporate boutique Strategic Law Partners to step up its presence in Los Angeles’ teeming ecosystem of technology companies. Reed Smith lured labor and employment partner L. Julius Turman from the San Francisco office of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius to help build out the practice in Northern California. Meanwhile, K&L Gates welcomed Los Angeles-based partner Charles Schwenck, who decamped from Foley & Lardner, into its growing energy, infrastructure and resources practice.
