Costa Mesa-based bankruptcy law firm Weiland Golden LLP added William Lobel and Alan Friedman as partners and changed its name to Lobel Weiland Golden Friedman LLP.
They were brought on to boost the boutique’s standing as a bankruptcy specialist.
Lobel most recently headed Lobel Firm LLP for about six years after spending 10 years at Irell & Manella LLP. He currently is representing Freedom Communications Inc., the Santa Ana-based parent company of the Orange County Register, in its bankruptcy proceedings.
Friedman also is a former Irell partner and focuses on representing debtors in financial restructurings in workouts and Chapter 11 cases.
Attorneys Sean O’Keefe, Michael Adele and Tavi Flanagan also joined LWGF as senior of counsel.
