Cozen O’Connor has hired Susan Grueneberg, formerly chair of the franchise services group at Snell & Wilmer, to lead its global franchise practice from Los Angeles.

Grueneberg, a veteran franchise law attorney in California, joined the Philadelphia-based Am Law 100 firm on Monday as a partner in its intellectual property department. She said the opportunity to join a national firm would help her expand her practice and serve her current clients around the country.
