San Francisco-based Gordon Rees Scully Mansukhani's march across the U.S. continued Friday as the Am Law 200 firm announced plans to absorb five-lawyer Bogue Moylan + Marino in Providence, Rhode Island.

The Providence office will be Gordon Rees' 46th office nationwide and its eighth new opening of 2017. Joining the firm are Bogue Moylan + Marino name partners Michael Marino, Richard Bogue and Thomas Moylan. The latter joins Gordon Rees as of counsel, while Marino will serve as his new firm's managing partner in Providence.

Bogue Moylan & Marino partner Melissa Curley, now senior counsel at Gordon Rees, and associate Richard Fallago have also become part of the firm's new outpost in Rhode Island. Paul Plourde, a former name partner at what until last year was known as Plourde, Bogue, Moylan + Marino, now has his own firm in Providence. He declined to comment about his decision to leave the firm and Marino was not immediately available for comment about his decision to join Gordon Rees.
