The group of legal professionals joining Pepper Hamilton from LeClairRyan has swelled to 24, including a dozen total lawyers, growing the  firm’s new Rochester, New York, office.

The law firm confirmed last month that five LeClairRyan intellectual property lawyers would be making the move to Pepper Hamilton to launch the new office. They will be joined by seven more lawyers—six associates and one senior attorney—as well as four patent agents, two technical specialists and several paralegals.
