San Francisco, CA, November 4, 2014 – Complex litigation and trial law firm Edlin Gallagher Huie + Blum (“EGHB”) has added four accomplished attorneys to its Los Angeles office. Partners Michael E. Gallagher and Paul D. Rasmussen and associate Raymond Park made the move after learning about EGHB’s plans for expanding its environmental, toxic tort, and construction law practice in Southern California and determining the firm culture was an ideal fit. To accommodate the growth of its team, EGHB has increased office space at its current location in downtown Los Angeles at 515 S. Flower Street.
“My colleagues and I are thrilled to have this group of talented attorneys join our firm,” says Managing Partner Noel Edlin. “Adding to our trial attorney strength in Los Angeles empowers us to handle the growing number of toxic tort, environmental, and construction defect claims being filed in Southern California and other parts of the state.”
