Several Richmond-based law firms are increasing their headcounts with moves here in town and across the country.
Local law giant McGuireWoods has added a new partner and another
office to its Los Angeles operation by merging with specialty litigation
practice Integer Law Corp.
The deal has been in the works for several months and became
effective April 1, said Terry Bagley, head of McGuireWood’s litigation
practice. Four attorneys came over from Integer as part of the deal,
including new partner Greg Evans.
“Several of our lawyers had had cases with Greg over the years and
had developed a relationship with him and were extremely impressed with
his capabilities,” Bagley said. “It’s sometimes difficult to find the
right fit, but Greg is clearly the right fit.
He’s not only a great
lawyer; he’s a great person.”
McGuireWoods’ new office is in downtown L.A., and the firm’s other
location, which employs 63 lawyers, is located in nearby Century City.
This newest office is the firm’s 21st worldwide.
