LOS ANGELES, March 18, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- On March 17, 2008, Richard Mooney, formerly with Holme Roberts & Owen LLP, joined Liner Yankelevitz Sunshine & Regenstreif LLP's San Francisco office as a partner in the Business Litigation Department. The firm, continuing its aggressive growth, is also adding one senior counsel and three associates to its Los Angeles and San Francisco offices.
"We are delighted that Richard decided to join us," said Stuart Liner, the firm's managing partner.
