Duane Morris LLP has snagged two former Shutts & Bowen LLP trial lawyers as new partners in Miami.

Duane Morris announced the hiring of Harold E. "Ed" Patricoff Jr. and Jake Baccari in a Wednesday statement. Both attorneys have experience in international matters. [...]

"Duane Morris is the right fit because of the national and global footprint," Patricoff said in a statement to Law360. "My practice spans the United States and beyond its borders. Duane Morris has offices very tactically selected in each of the key U.S. major markets and the key foreign major markets, which will allow us to serve our clients better." [...]

"The people and the footprint attracted us to Duane Morris. We like both the firm culture and strategic office coverage," Baccari said in a statement to Law360. "Duane Morris has excellent attorneys across the U.S. and in the foreign markets, particularly in Asia, where many of our foreign clientele are based and where increasingly our U.S. clients are doing business."
