Lawyer goes back to BigLaw, via a merger, after forming his own firm
Five years after leaving a BigLaw partnership to form his own firm, Gregory Evans is back.
McGuireWoods has announced that it is acquiring Los Angeles litigation boutique Integer Law, reports the Am Law Daily.
The move gives McGuireWoods, which already has a Century City office in Los Angeles, a downtown office, which is needed, says the firm’s chairman, Richard Cullen. “Century City and downtown are farther away than they appear on a map,” he says, describing the two offices as being “almost two different markets.”
Meanwhile, joining the firm gives Evans the larger platform he needs.
“We could not have hired people fast enough to continue the kind of atmosphere I wanted to perpetuate [at Integer],” he tells the legal publication.
He will serve as managing partner of the new downtown LA office of McGuireWoods.
