Pierce Bainbridge Beck Price & Hecht, a Los Angeles-based litigation boutique that in late March unveiled a new name and new office in New York, announced Monday that it has hired eight additional partners to build out its base in the Big Apple.

The firm, formed in early 2017 by two former Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan litigators, has brought on eight new partners, including Andrew Lorin, a former Drinker Biddle & Reath partner who most recently served as general counsel of New York’s Special Funds Conservation Committee, and a pair of former Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom litigation associates in Christopher LaVigne and Donald Lewis, the latter of which most recently served as senior counsel for corporate at WeWork Cos., while LaVigne served as an associate at New York’s Lankler Siffert & Wohl and legal counsel for Success Academy Charter Schools.
