Six lawyers from Patton Boggs are following litigator James Tyrrell Jr. to Edwards Wildman Palmer, working in Morristown, N.J., and New York.

The team worked closely with Tyrrell, and it was expected some of Tyrrell’s Patton Boggs colleagues would depart with him amid its merger with Squire Sanders. Earlier this week, after the creation of Squire Patton Boggs, Edwards Wildman announced Tyrrell had joined as a partner.
