Willkie Farr & Gallagher is opening its second office in the Bay Area, in San Francisco, bringing on two litigators from Keker, Van Nest & Peters.

Partner Simona Agnolucci and Benedict “Ben” Hur will co-lead the New York firm’s new San Francisco office. Prior to the move, Hur was at Keker for 14 years, and Agnolucci practiced there for more than seven years.
