SAN FRANCISCO — Goodwin Procter has decided to shutter its San Diego office.

The firm notified San Diego lawyers and staff this week that the office will close its doors as of Sept. 30, Goodwin Procter spokesman Lee Feldman confirmed Thursday. In a firmwide memo sent by Goodwin chair Regina Pisa and managing partner Robert Insolia and obtained by The Am Law Daily, the firm leaders said the closure "was not driven by financial considerations. Rather, this is a determination that San Diego, from a geographic perspective, is no longer a strategic location for building the future of the firm, and a decision to reallocate our investments to those markets in California that hold greater promise for us – Los Angeles, San Francisco and Silicon Valley."
