Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton has been snapping up lawyers in California like hot cakes in the last seven months. Since the start of the year, the Los Angeles-based firm has added 29 attorneys, including six corporate, four IP and 11 labor and employment practitioners.
Seyfarth Shaw labor and employment partner Michael Gallion was one of the recent additions when he joined Sheppard in July with two other partners. Last week, the rest of their team joined them when special counsel David Van Pelt and associates Jennifer Abramowitz, Laurie Barnes, Paul Berkowitz and Kate Visosky and staff followed.
