Sheppard Mullin Del Mar Heights Office Moves to Accommodate Influx of New Attorneys
Expansion Coincides With Office's Five-Year Anniversary
SAN DIEGO, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- October 30, 2006 -- The Del Mar Heights office of Sheppard,
Mullin, Richter & Hampton LLP has moved, after five years at a previous Del
Mar Heights address, to a new location at 12275 El Camino Real which will
enhance the firm's ability to serve the needs of northern San Diego County
clients. This full service office is home to more than 45 attorneys, with
room for further growth and expansion.
"We are a growing office and continue to add attorneys, especially in the
IP and Corporate practice groups. Our new location demonstrates the firm's
long-term commitment to North County San Diego, which is directly related
to the region's strength as Southern California's premier technology
corridor," said Dick Kintz, managing partner of the Del Mar Heights office.
Guy Halgren, managing partner of the firm, commented, "We are exceptionally
pleased by the growth of our office, which reflects the flourishing local
economy. In addition to our downtown San Diego office, the new location in
Del Mar Heights will boost the firm's presence in the area and continue to
be a resource for clients."
The new office, at 12275 El Camino Real, Suite 200, San Diego, CA 92130,
was established in part to accommodate the expanding Del Mar IP practice
that Sheppard Mullin has strategically built over the last two years, as
well as the office's strong Corporate practice. Additions to the office's
IP practice, this year alone, include: Mauricio Flores from McDermott, Will
& Emery in Orange County, David Heisey from Luce Forward in San Diego,
Daniel Yannuzzi from Morrison & Foerster in San Diego and Michael Eisenberg
from Fulwider Patton in Los Angeles. As a member of the Corporate practice
group, Tony Eppert joined the Del Mar office last month as head of the
firmwide Executive Compensation practice. Eppert joined the firm from
Morrison & Foerster in San Diego.
