What's Happening?
Morgan Lewis, a leading law firm, has announced the hiring of two new partners, Michael Edney and James La Rocca, in its Washington, DC, and New York offices, respectively. Edney specializes in white collar defense, regulatory enforcement, and complex
commercial litigation, representing executives and corporations in criminal prosecutions and agency enforcement actions. La Rocca focuses on labor law and employment litigation, advising employers on union organizing campaigns and proceedings before the National Labor Relations Board, as well as negotiating collective bargaining agreements.
Why It's Important?
The addition of Edney and La Rocca to Morgan Lewis's team is a strategic move to bolster the firm's capabilities in key practice areas. Edney's expertise in challenging government regulations and representing high-profile clients in complex legal matters enhances the firm's litigation and regulatory enforcement practice. Meanwhile, La Rocca's experience in labor law strengthens the firm's ability to serve clients facing labor and employment challenges. This expansion is likely to attract more clients seeking specialized legal services, thereby increasing the firm's market share and influence.
