Eversheds Sutherland said on Wednesday it’s launching a San Diego office with three intellectual property litigators from Foley & Lardner.

The trio of partners – Jose Patino, Nicola Pisano and Christopher Bolten – are expected to join Eversheds within the next couple of weeks. Meanwhile, Eversheds is talking with lawyers in other practices in San Diego and considering additional locations in California, said the firm’s co-CEO, Mark Wasserman, in an interview.
