The Maryland Daily Record noted the arrival of two litigators in Duane Morris' Baltimore office, Ray Shepard and Robert Hopkins. Both joined the firm within a short period of time from Maryland-based Ober, Kaler, Grimes & Shriver P.C.
"....Shepard said Duane Morris is in the process of bringing attorneys in other practice areas to the office as well, though he declined to be more specific.
Shepard and Hopkins said they moved not because they were unhappy at Ober, but because the chance to work at a bigger firm was attractive. Duane Morris has more than 650 attorneys in 24 offices, while Ober has fewer than 150 and focuses on the Baltimore-Washington region.
'I felt like it was an opportunity to take a leadership role in a law firm with a much larger platform than Ober Kaler had,' Shepard said."
