A pair of large law firms with Midwest roots have bolstered their outposts in Los Angeles.
Barnes & Thornburg, an Indianapolis-based Am Law 100 firm, announced Tuesday its hire of Raines Feldman corporate partner Ryan Barncastle. The move came a week after Lathrop Gage, a Kansas City, Missouri-based Am Law 200 firm that a year ago saw a six-lawyer team jump to Raines Feldman in Los Angeles, land two intellectual property partners in the city, which has been a hotbed this year for lateral partner hiring.
