Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith plans to open offices in Houston and Beaumont, Texas, through the acquisition of Adams & Heald, an insurance defense law firm with 11 attorneys.
The two additional offices, scheduled to open on Nov. 1, are the latest locales for the Los Angeles-based Lewis Brisbois, which has been expanding in recent years. In January, the firm opened an Atlanta office with eight attorneys from four different firms. Soon afterward, it opened a small office in Charleston, W.Va. In 2007, Lewis Brisbois opened offices in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and Lafayette, La.
