Greenspoon Marder said Monday it is adding nine attorneys from a Los Angeles bankruptcy and restructuring firm, launching a new downtown Los Angeles office to bolster its Southern California footprint and build out its bankruptcy offering.

The team arrived last week from 70-year-old bankruptcy boutique SulmeyerKupetz, which has represented public entities, nonprofits and private businesses in Chapter 11 reorganizations, Chapter 7 liquidation cases and business litigation matters.
