Hanson Bridgett Deepens Statewide Presence with New San Diego Office
SAN DIEGO – Dec. 3, 2025 – Hanson Bridgett LLP today opened its San Diego office, marking the firm’s commitment to serving California’s second-largest city and its specialized legal needs — expanding its presence into all major legal markets in the state.
The 5,475-square-foot office at 225 Broadway in the city’s historic Gaslamp Quarter strengthens Hanson Bridgett’s all-California footprint and joins offices in San Francisco and the surrounding Bay Area (including Walnut Creek and San Rafael), Los Angeles, Sacramento, and Costa Mesa.
“Establishing a physical office in San Diego demonstrates our long-term commitment to the community and a meaningful investment in one of the state’s most significant legal and economic regions,” Hanson Bridgett Managing Partner Kristina Lawson said. “We’ve assembled a team that includes native San Diegans and people who have long been embedded within the community and the key business sectors that complement our capabilities in California and beyond.”
Hanson Bridgett’s San Diego team has grown rapidly since the firm announced its expansion just four months ago. The office is now home to seven attorneys with deep San Diego roots and key client relationships in the region, including Market Leader and construction partner Stuart Eisler, health care litigation partner Natalie Mueller, and appellate partner Arezoo Jamshidi.
“San Diego’s growth across sectors like health care, real estate and development, and family wealth management makes our presence here not just timely, but essential,” Eisler said. “Establishing a permanent office signals our investment in the community and strengthens our ability to apply local insight, deepen client relationships, and contribute to the region’s ongoing success.”
Hanson Bridgett’s approach to the San Diego market follows disciplined, strategic expansion in other key California markets. The firm’s Los Angeles office opened over a decade ago, while its Sacramento office recently celebrated 25 years of service. The strategy prioritizes the right talent, the right practices, and a strong cultural foundation, resulting in high-performing offices and community impact.
The firm’s focus in San Diego extends beyond traditional legal services to include active community engagement and nonprofit partnerships — a key differentiator for Hanson Bridgett, with its robust social impact and pro bono programs that center the needs of the California communities where its people live and work.
With its San Diego office launch, Hanson Bridgett continues to advance its long-term vision as California’s law firm — deeply rooted in the state, aligned with its communities’ needs, and committed to delivering exceptional legal services across every major market. The firm plans to host an official opening celebration in early 2026.
