A team of five commercial litigators has moved from Gordon & Rees to SNR Denton in San Francisco.

Partners Fletcher Alford, Laura Geist and Douglas Scullion came to the international behemoth last month, bringing associates Kelly Fair and Anna Rassouli with them. The team practices commercial litigation and class action defense, serving clients in the financial services and insurance industries. Alford, who spent nearly 23 years at Gordon & Rees, said the group wanted to join a firm with a global footprint in light of the increasingly global nature of commercial litigation.
