Phoenix-based law firm Snell & Wilmer announced yesterday they are opening a new office in Los Angeles with eight attorneys lateraling from a smaller Santa Monica firm. Snell is one of the oldest law firms in Phoenix and is a regional player with offices in Phoenix, Tucson, Las Vegas, Orange County, Denver, Salt Lake City and Los Cabos, Mexico (their previous newest location). So it's a fairly big move for them into another large market.
