Duane Morris' Pittsburgh office gained four commercial litigators from Eckert Seamans Cherin & Mellott last week, including partner Kevin Allen who now serves as the office's co-managing partner to help grow the firm's local presence in one of the nation's most heavily lawyered legal markets.

Allen was joined by partners Daniel B. McLane and Michael Pest and special counsel Thomas Sanchez, who officially started at Duane Morris on Oct. 1.
