Howrey, Day Casebeer Make It Official

Howrey and Day Casebeer Madrid & Batchelder made their union official Wednesday, capping at least six months of serious talks. All but one of the Silicon Valley intellectual property boutique's 26 attorneys joined Howrey's Palo Alto, Calif., office, effective July 1. The move includes nine partners and 16 associates. Managing partner Lloyd "Rusty" Day said 725-lawyer Howrey's vision is a good fit for his firm, which couldn't add resources quickly on its own.
