The Texas-based firm announced the opening of its second California office in the last six months with the addition of seven attorneys and other professional staff from San Francisco’s Ongaro Law Firm. The new office, which opened March 1, will be led by San Francisco litigator David Ongaro.
“David and his team are experienced and effective litigators, and we have worked with them for common clients in California and elsewhere,” Emily Parker, the firm’s managing partner, said in a press release. “We saw this as an opportunity to join with lawyers who we know and trust to expand our presence in California.”
The San Francisco office will focus on commercial litigation, particularly in matters involving products liability and labor and employment.
Thompson & Knight opened a Los Angeles office in October 2012.
