Goodwin Procter LLP has opened new offices in San Diego and downtown Los Angeles. The San Diego office will be chaired by new hire Stephen Ferruolo, who previously was a partner with Heller Ehrman and co-chair of that firm's corporate/VLG group. He will be joined by fellow ex-Heller partner Ryan Murr, while the downtown LA office will include three new partners focused on real estate: Dean Pappas and Dani Vogt, both from Mayer Brown, and Edward Hagerott Jr., who joins from Munger, Tolles & Olson LLP. www.goodwinprocter.com
