Correction, 8/26/14, 9:55 a.m. EST: An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated the amount of space Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton will occupy in its new Washington, D.C., office location. The firm will occupy 58,000 square feet. The story has been revised accordingly. We regret the error.
