McDermott Will & Emery, fresh off a strong 2022, has added two partners to its transactions practice in California, including Shaalu Mehra from Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman in Silicon Valley and Matthew King from Gibson Dunn & Crutcher in Los Angeles. 

The two partners are among several attorney hires McDermott has made in recent years to bolster its position with emerging companies, especially in industries where the firm already has strong connections.
