As LeClairRyan partners and attorneys continue to seek new homes for their practices, K&L Gates has confirmed that it is adding four of them to its Newark office.

The group of litigators is focused on environmental litigation and regulation, as well as mass tort litigation. Joseph Lagrotteria, Dorothy Mello Laguzza, Gary Sapir and Adam Husik have all joined the Pittsburgh-born Am Law 100 firm.

All four lawyers were partners at LeClairRyan. K&L Gates did not specify whether they would be partners there as well.

Lagrotteria, who is leading the group, represents public and private companies, primarily in the chemical and manufacturing sectors, in environmental litigation and regulatory matters.

Laguzza handles environmental matters arising from real estate and corporate transactions including site remediation, natural resource damages, brownfields development and regulatory matters. Sapir focuses on toxic tort, mass tort and products liability litigation in New Jersey state and federal courts. And Husik works with clients on large, ongoing environmental remediation projects and other issues related to real estate and other transactions.

Other firms have brought on groups of LeClairRyan attorneys around the country amid the law firm’s wind-down.

Clark Hill Strasburger, as Clark Hill is known in the Texas market, announced Thursday that it has brought on a group of five in Houston, including the leader of LeClairRyan’s Texas offices.

Jason Medley, who was head of LeClairRyan’s Houston and Dallas offices, will join Clark Hill as a member. M. Edward Burdzinski is joining as senior counsel in banking and financial services. In the litigation practice, Michael Landrum is joining as of counsel, Anne Marie Laney Hill as senior counsel, and Trevor Hall as senior attorney.

Medley, a transactional lawyer, represents banks, factoring companies and real estate interests. He also handles corporate governance issues and other matters related to entity formation, contracts, leasing and mergers and acquisitions.

More LeClairRyan lawyers are likely to move to Clark Hill in the Northeast, ALM reported Wednesday. Clark Hill has already added a group of LeClairRyan lawyers in California in its labor and employment practice.

Meanwhile, Michael Harrington and Elizabeth Smith, who were partners in LeClairRyan’s Hartford, Connecticut, office, are making a move to FordHarrison, the firm confirmed Thursday. FordHarrison has about 200 lawyers in 28 offices, focusing on labor and employment.
