(Jan. 26) – Twenty-three Dallas lawyers – nearly all of them in litigation – from California-based Sedgwick are joining Drinker Biddle & Reath, which is opening its first outpost in Texas next week.
W. Neil Rambin, who is the managing partner of Sedgwick’s Dallas office, is leading a team of nine partners and 14 associates and counsel to Drinker Biddle.
The departures leaves Sedgwick with about a half-dozen lawyers in Dallas.
Drinker Biddle is a 170-year-old law firm founded in Philadelphia. It has about 635 lawyers in a dozen U.S. offices. The firm counts AT&T Mobility and Trammel Crow among its largest clients.
Rambin, who specializes in complex insurance litigation, is joining Drinker Biddle with eight other partners, including E. Paul Cauley, Jr., Susan E. Egeland, Travis S. Gamble, Wayne B. Mason, George S. McCall, Dawn S. McCord, Sondra S. Sylva and Alan R. Vickery.
“Drinker Biddle wanted to expand into DFW because the firm has about 150 clients in the area,” said Mason, who specializes in complex civil litigation.
“Drinker offers us a much larger platform and is a more full service, more diverse firm,” Mason said. “Drinker has practice specializations that our current clients need.”
