A Philadelphia litigator from Clark Hill has made the jump to Schnader Harrison Segal & Lewis, looking for a firm with more local ties.

Jonathan Hugg joined Schnader Harrison as a partner in the litigation services department, the firm announced Monday. Hugg, a commercial litigator, said his practice focuses principally on real estate and financial services. He also works on land-related issues involving municipalities, having represented parties on both sides of those matters.

Hugg said his client are all following him to Schnader Harrison. They are all based in Philadelphia, New York and Northern New Jersey, he said, so he is looking forward to working in a firm with a presence in those locations and its roots in Philadelphia.
