In what has already been an active year on the lateral hiring front by DLA Piper, the global legal giant announced this week its addition of five new partners in three cities, the majority of whom will join its intellectual property and technology practice.
Heading to DLA Piper as co-chairs of the firm’s national advertising team are former Jenner & Block partners Benjamin Mulcahy in Los Angeles and Gina Reif Ilardi in New York. Ilardi and Mulcahy, who advise clients in the sports, media and entertainment space, both joined Jenner & Block in 2016 after serving as co-leaders of the advertising industry group at Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton.
