PALO ALTO, CA--(Marketwire - November 22, 2010) - This week the Silicon Valley office of Global 100 law firm Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton LLP is moving from Menlo Park to downtown Palo Alto. The new office will be located for one year at 390 Lytton Avenue and in 2011 the office will move to its permanent home across the street at 379 Lytton Avenue.
"In response to our clients' needs as well as the continued addition of top-quality lawyers to our team, we have outgrown our current location," said Marc A.
