intersection of capital and innovation to the heart of Silicon Beach, where
more and more of our company and investor clients are doing business,” said AJ
Weidhaas, Goodwin partner and chair of the firm’s Santa Monica office.
“We look forward to moving into our new,
state-of-the-art space at 520 Broadway later this summer.”
