boston closure: leaves latham with three east coast officesLos Angeles giant Latham & Watkins has become the latest US firm to close a regional outpost, with the news it has ditched its Boston office.

The Boston office, which carried out predominately corporate, M&A and corporate finance work, closed at the end of last year, with former office head Ian Blumenstein joining Proskauer Rose and its other lawyers relocating to New York.
