Carlton Fields Jorden Burt has opened an office in Los Angeles—its 11th nationally—with two shareholders from Steptoe & Johnson.

The new office will be headed by Mark Neubauer, who opened Washington-based Steptoe’s Century City office eight years ago and grew it to 35 attorneys. Joining Neubauer from Steptoe will be shareholder Meredith Moss, who specializes in employment counseling and complex business litigation.
