LEGAL TIMES: What is the growth plan of Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton’s Washington office?
LUCANTONIO SALVI: Our D.C. office has been and continues to be in growth mode. We are moving offices to give us more space and meet the strategic initiative of the firm, which is to grow our East Coast practice. I think today we’re at 57 or 58 attorneys. Our growth strategy as an office is to get to 75 to 90 attorneys in the next three to five years. We are strategically focused on growing the M&A corporate practice. We are also focused on submarkets like private equity, defense and health care.
