Nixon Peabody is set to significantly boost its headcount with the hire of around 100 former Thelen lawyers, reports The Am Law Daily.
The firm has extended offers to about 50 partners from Thelen, after the 400-lawyer San Francisco firm voted to dissolve at the end of October. At the time, Legal Week sister title The Recorder reported that Nixon had offered jobs to as many as 60 Thelen lawyers, including Jennifer Kuenster, co-chairwoman of commercial litigation and a member of Thelen’s partnership council.
