Five years after DLA Piper tripled the size of its Sacramento office by snagging a 10-lawyer health care team from soon-to-be-defunct local firm McDonough Holland & Allen, the global legal giant is poised to see a big part of that group decamp to open a new outpost in California’s capital for a rival Am Law 100 firm.

King & Spalding is expected to open a Sacramento office by September after bringing on DLA Piper’s national health care co-chair STEPHEN GOFF and partners MARCIA AUGSBURGER, JOHN BARNES and LESLIE MURPHY, according to a report by the Sacramento Business Journal. Other lawyers making the move include of counsel LORINDA HARRIS and DEVAN MCCARTY and two associates.
