Reeder
LOS ANGELES-The law firm of Robins, Kaplan, Miller & Ciresi LLP has brought on all of the attorneys of Reeder Lu LLP and staff—including partners Christopher S. Reeder and Richard Schloss—expanding to nearly 50 lawyers in Los Angeles. The firm now has "significant new resources to handle high-profile complex business litigation, real estate, financial institution, employment, franchise, and corporate matters," it says in announcing the move.
Joining with Reeder and Schloss are associates Wesley Lew, Duncan McCreary, H. Mark Madnick, Andrew Howard, and Brian Lauter. All have already started work at Robins, Kaplan, Miller & Ciresi. Reeder said of the move: “There were incredible synergies with Robins, Kaplan, Miller & Ciresi LLP in the type of trials, litigation, and transactional work that we do.”
Schloss
Reeder founded Reeder Lu in 2009 after a career at top national law firms Kaye Scholer LLP; Lord, Bissell & Brook LLP; and Sheppard Mullin Richter & Hampton LLP. The firm represents companies in a wide array of industries including real estate, manufacturing, franchising, financial markets, and professional services as well as high net-worth individuals.
Roman Silberfeld, the managing partner of the Los Angeles office of Robins, Kaplan, Miller & Ciresi, explained that the addition of the Reeder Lu group is part of the firm’s long-standing mission to construct a Los Angeles office that matches the capabilities of the firm as a whole.
“Chris, Richard and their associates fit that bill very well,” Silberfeld said. “This move enhances our range of services and our ability to provide excellent client service to our clients and theirs.”
Silberfeld opened the Los Angeles office 16 years ago, and it has grown from six lawyers. He said that adding the Reeder Lu lawyers to the office helps accomplish another goal: infusing the office with a group of vital, younger lawyers and partners who can take leadership roles in the future. “From the firm’s perspective, this brings us a critical mass of people who can do more things, without having to call for reinforcements from our other offices,” Silberfeld said.
Reeder has enjoyed a broad based trial, litigation, and general counsel practice, including real estate, lender liability, franchise, business practices, intellectual property, employment and labor, health care, construction, aviation, class actions, partnership disputes, and other commercial litigation matters. In addition, he advises clients in real estate transactions, lending and brokerage laws, franchise transactions and disclosures, construction contracting and licensure requirements, advertising, business practices, and employment law.
Schloss before joining Reeder Lu, gained experience with top national firms DLA Piper US LLP and Katten Muchin Rosenman. He represents clients in the areas of commercial real estate development and finance. His clients include developers, lenders, and borrowers in various commercial transactions, including joint ventures, acquisition and development, commercial finance, leasing, and purchase and sale. He also works in the areas of general corporate, franchise, and bankruptcy law.
