Locke Lord, which is on track to merge with Troutman Pepper Hamilton Sanders by the end of the year, has added two partners in Chicago—J.P. Hong, an insurance and regulatory partner from Sidley Austin, and James Shreve, who was chair of Thompson Coburn’s cybersecurity practice.

Hong joined Locke Lord’s regulatory and transactional insurance practice and Shreve joined the privacy and cybersecurity practice, both on Wednesday.
