Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman has hired Timothy Brugh, who most recently served as a vice president and West Coast director of fiduciary services at The Goldman Sachs Trust Co., as a partner for its offices in San Francisco and Silicon Valley.

After spending more than a decade at the financial services giant, Brugh decided to return to private practice and join Pillsbury Winthrop’s estates, trusts and tax planning group Tuesday. Prior to Goldman Sachs, Brugh worked at Wells Fargo Private Bank for about six years, where he served as a senior vice president in Palo Alto.
