A second San Francisco land use and real estate boutique in the last three weeks has closed with many of its attorneys finding a new home at a larger firm.
Cassidy Shimko Dawson & Kawakami, whose lawyers focused largely on transactional work, dissolved at the end of 2009. Seven of its 10 attorneys, including name partners Stephen Cassidy, Anna Shimko, Deirdre Dawson and Paul Kawakami, joined Sedgwick, Detert, Moran & Arnold in San Francisco on Jan. 1. Dawson is joining as special counsel, the other three as partners.
