On January 26, 2022, Law.com published a follow-up analysis that highlighted the Los Angeles litigation team that joined Wilson Sonsini in late 2021. The analysis followed The American Lawyer article published on January 25 that listed 2021’s top lateral hires in Big Law. According to the analysis, there were 10 litigation hires that made the list of the 25 lateral moves Am Law says “left the biggest imprint on the industry in 2021”—including Wilson Sonsini’s hiring of partners Luis Li, Matthew Macdonald, Fred Rowley, and Mark Yohalem in the Los Angeles office, and the addition of Eric Tuttle as a partner in the Seattle office.

In November 2021, the firm announced the addition of the five distinguished litigators as part of the continued buildout of its national litigation practice. Luis, Matthew, Fred, Mark, and Eric have vast experience with high-stakes trials, investigations, and appeals.

At the time they joined the firm, Wilson Sonsini managing partner Doug Clark commented, “These lawyers possess a level of talent that will benefit our clients enormously in their most significant legal disputes. They bring diverse career experiences—from trying cases of all kinds in private practice and as prosecutors to arguing appeals throughout the country—in a cohesive group that has practiced together for years.”
