Duane Morris LLP has added an attorney with over a decade of experience to its employment, labor, benefits and immigration practice, the firm recently announced.

Travis J. Odom joins the firm's Houston office as a partner....His work focuses on a range of employment and labor law issues, including disputing unemployment benefits, retaliation, discrimination and harassment claims before both federal and appellate courts, the firm said.

In an email to Law360 Friday, Odom said his joining of the firm was part of Duane Morris' Texas expansion. 

"Duane Morris is committed to expanding its offerings in Texas and the opportunity to be a part of that growth was too good to pass up," he said. "And, coming from a boutique model to a full service firm with a national platform provides me new opportunities to offer assistant to my clients in practice areas other than employment law, which I have not been able to do before." [...]

Odom said he was looking forward to learning about his new firm and colleagues' practices. 

"In the short time I have been here, I have been amazed at the breadth of knowledge and expertise of Duane Morris's attorneys," he said. "The firm's industry-focused working groups will enable me to work with colleagues across practice groups and cerate new business and cross-selling opportunities as well."
