Sidley Austin LLP continues to bolster its presence in California by recruiting Nima Mohebbi, a litigation partner from Latham & Watkins. This strategic move is part of Sidley’s ongoing efforts to enhance its legal practice in Southern California.
Mohebbi will be joining Sidley’s commercial litigation and disputes practice as a partner in Los Angeles. He is set to operate from the firm’s Century City office, where he will focus on his expertise at the intersection of technology and entertainment, a critical sector in the region.
This expansion comes in the wake of Sidley’s recent acquisition of Jon Dean, a former head of McDermott Will & Emery’s litigation group in Los Angeles, and Peter Burke, a global finance partner from Paul Hastings, demonstrating a clear trajectory of growth and strengthening Sidley’s service offerings in the competitive Southern California market.
Sidley’s expansion tactics in Southern California align with its continued efforts to surpass its performance metrics from 2023, reflecting a broader industry trend of major law firms expanding their geographical footprint to align with market demands and client needs.
