Silicon Valley Couple Leads Perkins Group to King & Spaulding

A husband-and-wife team is leading a team from Perkins Coie in Silicon Valley to a new office for Atlanta-based King & Spaulding.

The couple—partners Paul Andre and Lisa Kobialka—are leaving with a group of associates, the California Recorder reports in a story posted by New York Lawyer (reg. req.).

Andre is described as a well-known IP litigator who joined Perkins in 2003 after working at Quinn Emanuel Urquhart Oliver & Hedges and the now-defunct Brobeck, Phleger & Harrison. Kobialka, who headed Perkins' commercial litigation practice in the Valley, also is an alumnus of Quinn Emanuel and Brobeck.
