Arent Fox has expanded westward with its takeover of Los Angeles-based, nine-lawyer litigation boutique O'Brien Abeles. The merger will take effect Jan. 1. The move represents a rebound of sorts, as this is the firm's first expansion since it closed four regional offices starting in 1993, keeping only its Washington headquarters and New York office. Marc Fleischaker, chairman of Arent Fox, says firm clients like Walt Disney Co. and Sony Corp. fueled the desire to move west.
