In an article from Am Law Litigation Daily, Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough LLP was recognized as one of the Top 25 Big Law Lateral Hires in 2022 by the publication. The American Lawyer cited Nelson Mullins' addition of a 31-partner product liability and litigation team from Bowman and Brooke, a move that occurred in January 2022. The firm was listed as No. 21 in the list of 25 for the move that expanded the firm's reach in to San Diego, Dallas, Minneapolis, and Richmond, Virginia.
