Why it matters

Littler Mendelson P.C. has hired a former Morgan Lewis & Bockius LLP attorney as a shareholder in its Walnut Creek, California office. The move, announced July 1, 2026, brings an experienced labor litigator to Littler's management-side employment practice and expands the firm's litigation capacity in California.

The attorney's specific name has not been disclosed. Details about the hire's practice focus and client portfolio remain unclear.

This hire is part of a broader Littler expansion strategy. The firm is simultaneously recruiting labor and employment associates in Chicago and targeting attorneys with 3–5 years of large firm experience. For attorneys tracking lateral movement in employment law, the shift signals intensifying competition between top-tier management-side firms for litigation talent. Littler's acquisition of a Morgan Lewis litigator underscores how firms are consolidating bench strength to maintain market position in high-stakes workplace disputes.
