Coughlin Stoia to Get a New Firm Name as Partners Change Roles
Securities plaintiffs attorney Patrick Coughlin will soon scale back his duties and take his name off the letterhead at San Diego-based Coughlin Stoia Geller Rudman & Robbins. Coughlin will become of counsel at the end of June and will step down from the executive committee. At the same time, the 180-lawyer firm is promoting Michael Dowd to name partner. By the end of March, the firm will go by Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd.
