Chair Seth Zachary said that strong growth was particularly due to work done in Latin America, IP, leveraged finance, white collar crime and securities and capital markets. He said: 'It’s gratifying to have a year where the broad progress in our practices is reflected in record financial results.' The firm has offices in the US, Europe and the Far East. The Los Angeles-based firm has just added three white collar defence lawyers from Squire Patton Boggs. Source: ABA
