Lateral Hires Enhance Corporate, Employment, Insolvency/Bankruptcy, Intellectual Property, Litigation and Real Estate Practices
Greenberg Glusker today announced that 15 partners will join the firm on January 17, 2012. The addition of these seasoned attorneys is a significant expansion for Greenberg Glusker, further strengthening its market position as a full-service, mid-sized law firm serving middle market companies.
"These lawyers have more than complementary skills," said Stephen Smith, Greenberg Glusker's Managing Partner. "They are outstanding people who share our values, culture and commitment to clients."
Greenberg Glusker is the largest, single-office law firm headquartered in Los Angeles. Well-known for its entertainment and real estate practices, the addition of these 15 partners will enhance and expand its comprehensive capabilities particularly in the corporate, employment, insolvency/bankruptcy and business litigation departments.
Among the attorneys joining Greenberg Glusker are Brian Davidoff, who will chair the Firm's Bankruptcy practice, and Joel Weinstein, who will chair its Corporate practice. Partners John Melissinos and Duane Kumagai will also join its Bankruptcy practice, while partners Andrew Apfelberg, Benjamin Alexander and Richard Hong will join its Corporate practice.
"We are excited to join Greenberg Glusker, where we will be able to provide our clients with expanded service offerings from that which we formerly provided at Rutter Hobbs & Davidoff," said Davidoff. "This broadened platform is well-suited to meet the growing needs of our market-leading clients throughout California."
Also joining Greenberg Glusker are labor and employment attorneys Olivia Goodkin, Wendy Lane and Risa Morris; commercial litigators Fred Fenster, Geoffrey Gold and Bernie Resser; Nancy Morgan, a civil litigator specializing in intellectual property matters; and real estate attorney Marc Petas.
"For many years, the legal community has questioned whether the mid-sized firm model can thrive, and we've always told them it can," Smith said. "Today we proved it!"
