Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton LLP
Joshua R. McLane
as partner
in Orange County
from Kirkland & Ellis LLP.
Sheppard Mullin expanded its tax practice with the addition of Orange County based partner Joshua R. McLane, formerly of Kirkland & Ellis.
"I've worked across from Shepherd Mullin attorneys on past transactions and have always found them to be smart, collaborative and just practical attorneys," McLane said in an interview. "Really, the relationships were something that drove me here, the people I knew."
The firm's expanding private equity practice was an additional draw, McLane said.
"The opportunity to take part in that and work hand-in-hand with the corporate partners was something that I was very attracted to," he explained.
McLane spent a decade at Kirkland & Ellis and specializes his tax practice on private equity funds and their portfolio companies.
He handles complex business transactions and reorganizations such as mergers and acquisitions, investments, joint ventures and divestitures.
He was also general counsel and corporate secretary for CareTrust REIT, a real estate investment company in San Clemente, and was a senior tax associate at Deloitte.
With the move to Sheppard Mullin, McLane expects his practice to remain the same, but anticipates tax regulation changes in the future that could influence the way corporate transactions are structured.
"There's always new exciting things to learn in tax, and it's ever changing," McLane said. "And, frankly, that's something that drew me to the practice, broadly speaking."
What he enjoys most is being able to translate complex tax rules for his clients and colleagues and providing them with paths to their business objectives.
"On a personal level, I find great satisfaction in helping young associates build a tax foundation," he said.
McLane received his law degree from Brigham Young University, J. Reuben Clark Law School.

Procopio, Cory, Hargreaves & Savitch LLP
John Nelson
as partner
in San Diego
from Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith LLP.
San Diego environmental attorney John Nelson joined Procopio, Cory, Hargreaves & Savitch LLP particularly because its real estate practice aligns well with his focus.
Nelson was also drawn to make the move from Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith LLP because of Procopio's collegial spirit and strong practice groups, he said in an interview Thursday.
"One thing that I noticed right away when I started talking to them is that it's a very collegial environment," Nelson said. "I was impressed by the number of partners who went out of their way to meet with me on Zoom. It felt like a very collegial environment and that's been confirmed since I've joined."
Nelson spent the last four years at Lewis Brisbois and previously held inhouse roles at Ash Grove Cement Co. and Monsanto.
His practice focuses on litigation, regulatory and transactional work involving environmental law ranging from water rights to California Environmental Quality Act compliance.
"I really enjoy the regulatory work the most because you really get to dig into the regulations and all the policy issues that come with it," Nelson said. " That's kind of the heart of environmental law in a lot of ways."
What sets his practice apart from others, Nelson said, is his in-house experience. After spending a decade in house, he said, he understands clients' unique needs.
At Procopio, he looks forward to helping meet the environmental needs of the firm's existing clients and providing to his clients resources the firm has to offer, particularly real estate expertise.
Nelson graduated from UCLA School of Law.
