The stream of Am Law firms making moves in Los Angeles has remained steady, with Shook, Hardy & Bacon one of the latest to add a litigation leader in the city.

This week the Missouri-founded firm announced the arrival of Alycia Degen, previously a co-leader of Sidley Austin’s product liability and mass torts practice, with the firm saying she’s a “natural fit.” Her move comes as Shook seeks more expansion in the Southern California market and as mass torts activity continues to get “even bigger,” one firm leader said.
