Kansas City, Missouri-based Shook, Hardy & Bacon is launching a new office in Los Angeles after taking a three-partner litigation team from Sidley Austin.
The group is led by partner Michael Mallow, who most recently served as the co-head of Sidley's consumer class action defense practice. Joining Mallow from Sidley's Los Angeles office are partners Mark Campbell and Rachel Straus and of counsel Darlene Cho, along with an associate.
“The primary emphasis for us is that Shook does what we do. They are litigators with 90 percent of their attorneys classified as litigators, trial lawyers,” said Campbell, adding that the firm's class action expertise was another key attraction.
