Glaser Weil Fink Howard Avchen & Shapiro has hired Lawrence “Larry” Hadley from McKool Smith to rebuild its intellectual property practice group.

The Los Angeles-based firm lost its last IP partner, Rex Hwang, to Jeffer Mangels Butler & Mitchell in October. Hwang’s departure followed the retirement in September of former IP practice leader Adrian Pruetz and the exit of partners Erica Van Loon and Andrew Choung, who joined Lathrop Gage.
