Labor and employment firm Ogletree, Deakins, Nash, Smoak & Stewart added San Diego as its 43rd U.S. location on Wednesday when the firm announced it would open an office in the Southern California city with a partner hire from Fisher & Phillips.

“We’ve been looking to open in San Diego for some time,” managing partner Kim Ebert told The Am Law Daily on Wednesday. “We wanted to fill out that market in California.”
