Goodwin is opening an office in Orange County with three litigators. Richard Grabowski, John Vogt, and Ryan Ball are joining the firm as partners in Newport Beach, California, the firm announced Tuesday. The trio brings Litigation practices focused on Cybersecurity, Privacy, Technology, trade secrets, and Consumer Financial Services. In 2023, they helped Experian Data Corp. beat a multi-million dollar enforcement action over a data breach — one of the largest such cases ever to proceed to trial. The Newport Beach office boosts Goodwin’s presence on the West Coast. The firm already has offices in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Santa Monica, and Silicon Valley. Goodwin’s growth and focus is the perfect fit for the trio’s practice, Grabowski said. “Our goal is really to be the leading cybersecurity and privacy litigation practice in the US and overseas, and we think we can really bring that to fruition at Goodwin,” Grabowski said. “Their elite trial, investigations and litigation skills, combined with our industry-immersed strategy, are a powerful combination that is unique in the market,” said Goodwin chair Anthony McCusker in a statement.
