Eight lawyers from Obermayer Rebmann Maxwell & Hippel have moved to Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney, rebuilding Buchanan's labor and employment practice in Philadelphia.

Partners Joseph Centeno, Larry Besnoff, Jacqueline Gallagher and Min Suh made the move along with associates Teleicia Dambreville, Gregory Eck, Charlene Barker Gedeus and Michael Truncellito. Centeno will be a co-chair of Buchanan's labor and employment section along with David Laurent.

Buchanan's labor and employment section suffered a number of lateral defections in May, when a sizeable group departed for Cozen O'Connor. The departures included 11 employment lawyers from the Philadelphia office.
