We are looking to bring on at least 50 Los Angeles-based attorneys in the next six months.”

The office currently houses 32 attorneys and 21 full-time staff, as well as part of the firm’s Complex Trial Team, which advises on high-stakes litigation suits across the country. The expanded space can house an additional 90 employees.
