Morgan Lewis & Bockius has added 13 lawyers across four cities since the start of the year, with 11 coming from Howrey, a firm that has seen a number of defections in recent days and months.
Morgan Lewis announced Monday that it added a six-lawyer litigation team in Irvine, Calif. The group is led by partners Robert E. Gooding Jr. and Scott B. Garner and includes four associates. They joined Morgan Lewis from Howrey, where Gooding was co-chairman of the securities litigation, government enforcement and white-collar crime practice.
