Kansas City, Missouri law firm Bradshaw & Herrington is merging into local firm White Goss.

With the four lawyers from Bradshaw & Herrington, including name partners Tom Bradshaw and Daniel Herrington, the combined firm will have 22 lawyers.

Founded in 2000 by five Polsinelli Shughart lawyers, White Goss Bowers March Schulte & Weisenfels focuses on real-estate, land-use law, municipal law and corporate litigation.

Covington & Burling Brings on Lawyers [Correction]

Erik Even — Fri, 22 May 2009 19:30:18 +0000

Covington & Burling has brought on Demetrios Kouzoukas and David Kornblau.

Kouzoukas was principal associate deputy secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services. He is joining Covington’s health care and food & drug practice groups in Washington DC.

Kornblau was SEC chief litigation counsel. He joins Covington as a partner in the white collar & securities enforcement and litigation practices in New York.

Covington & Burling LLP is an international law firm with offices in Beijing, Brussels, London, New York, San Francisco, Silicon Valley, San Diego, and Washington, DC. It consistently ranks among the top 20 on The American Lawyer’s prestigious “A-List.”

CORRECTION: This story originally characterized David Kornblau as a “Bush administration refugee.” In fact, Kornblau joined the SEC in 1995, during the Clinton years, and was never a political appointee. From 2005-2009, he was with Merrill Lynch, so his move to Covington has nothing to do with the change in administrations.
