Squire Patton Boggs has settled into permanent space with room for more lawyers after launching an Atlanta office in January. It’s also just added Alison LaBruyere as of counsel from MidCountry Financial Corp., where she had been general counsel and corporate secretary.

Squire’s local managing partner, Ann-Marie McGaughey, predicted more hires in the offing, adding that the firm’s lease at 1230 Peachtree St. N.E. in Midtown’s Promenade building is for only three years. The firm has taken most of the 17th floor and is building out office space for 11 more lawyers, with the plan of moving into larger digs as the Atlanta location grows.
