Goodwin has opened an office in Orange County with a trio of litigation partners. Richard Grabowski, John Vogt, and Ryan Ball have joined the firm as partners to open its new office in Newport Beach, Goodwin said on Tuesday. The trio bring litigation practices focused on Cybersecurity, Privacy, Technology, trade secrets, and Consumer Financial Services. Caroline Bullerjahn, co-chair of Goodwin’s Complex Litigation and Dispute Resolution practice, said the team’s hire was a “game changer.” “Our industry immersion in technology, healthcare, life sciences, and private equity means we’re already embedded where privacy and data protection issues matter most,” Bullerjahn said. “This addition brings that same depth to our consumer financial services practice. The team’s industry knowledge combined with their courtroom excellence is the formula to build something exceptional.” Orange County marks Goodwin’s first office launch since early 2023, when the firm set up shop in Philadelphia with a team hired from legacy Troutman Pepper. The firm already has West Coast offices spanning San Francisco, Los Angeles, Santa Monica, and Silicon Valley.
