Sheppard Mullin has hired a five-lawyer real estate team from Jones Day in Dallas, as the firm continues to grow its large real estate practice.

The group includes new Sheppard Mullin partners Michelle Brown, Andrew Bengtson, Ian Lange and Shane Trawick, and special counsel Jeffrey Ramsey, who each joined the real estate, energy, land use and environmental practice group. The lawyers made the move over the last week or so, Brown said.
