Womble Bond Dickinson has combined with Southern California boutique Gordinier Kang & Kim, just days after it announced the addition of a five-lawyer litigation boutique in San Francisco.

Gordinier Kang’s John Kang, Edward Kim and Patricia Cymerman joined Womble Bond as partners in Los Angeles and Irvine. Name partner Todd Gordinier is retiring, while one other partner decided to leave the practice of law.
