Correction, 2/20/2013, 10:40 a.m. EST: The original version of this article referred incorrectly to the year that Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton acquired Santa Barbara–based Nida & Maloney. That acquisition occurred in 2001. The second paragraph of the story has been revised to reflect the correct information. We regret the error.
Cooley has continued the expansion of its recently opened Los Angeles office with the addition of two former Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton partners, C. THOMAS HOPKINS and IAN SMITH. Both join the firm’s business department as partners.
