New York-based labor and employment boutique Kauff McClain & McGuire is closing its San Francisco office this month after a 22-year run. Five of the office’s seven lawyers, including name partner Maureen McClain, are leaving for Littler Mendelson today. Two lawyers from Kauff McClain’s tiny Los Angeles office are joining the group in its move, though the L.A. office will remain open with two lawyers.
Kauff McClain name partner Jerome Kauff, on the telephone from New York, said that the office shuttering is not a reflection of the marketplace in Northern California. Rather, the San Francisco office existed because of McClain, he said, and with her departure, the Kauff firm had lost its reason to keep a foothold in the city.
