Barnes & Thornburg, which opened an office in Los Angeles six years ago last week, has set up its second office in California.

Troy Zander, who left Cooley to join Barnes & Thornburg on Feb. 17, now serves as partner-in-charge of the firm’s new outpost in San Diego. The office, which has secured temporary space in downtown San Diego, follows the firm’s recruitment of a Los Angeles-based team of lawyers from Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld in 2011.
