Los Angeles-based City National Bank, a unit of Royal Bank of Canada, is looking to step up its lending to the legal industry with two new banker hires from Citi Private Bank’s Law Firm Group, which dominates the field alongside Wells Fargo.

With the addition of Ray Martinez and Erik Larsen, both in LA, City National wants to expand on its reputation as “bank to the stars” with a concerted effort to target firms in the Am Law 200. The bank, known for serving entertainment industry clients ranging from Frank Sinatra to Steven Spielberg to Wolfgang Puck, has been lending to law firms and their attorneys for 30 years.
