Sedgwick Detert Moran & Arnold LLP bought a boutique law firm that specializes in representing landlords, expanding the San Francisco firm's real estate practice.
Led by Jeffery Woo, the boutique focuses on institutional and regional property holders and real estate professionals. Along with Woo, associates David Blumenfeld, Harrison Nam, Scott Okamoto, Stanley Riddell and Stephen Sherman join Sedgwick.
Sedgwick's real estate offerings already include litigation and transactional services for a wide range of commercial real estate owners, developers, managers, lessees and professionals.
The move by Woo and his associates to Sedgwick is part of a growing trend among small firms that move their practice to firms with a national or international presence. Larger firms offer a network of administrative support and can provide a platform to launch services into new geographic markets.
