Blawgs are reporting that Skadden has lured over prominent attorney John Beisner and two others from O’Melveny & Myers.
Beisner is the chair of O’Melveny’s Class Actions, Mass Torts, and Aggregated Litigation Practice. He will bring with him Jessica Miller and Steve Harburg.
Apparently Beisner is a major player at O’Melveny & Myers, and his loss would be a serious blow to the firm.
