COSTA MESA – Rutan & Tucker LLP has added attorneys Carina Verano, Jason Oesterreich and Jeff Robinson as associates with the firm. Verano, a 1997 graduate of UCLA School of Law, practiced most recently at the Los Angeles firm of Orbach & Huff. She has joined Rutan & Tucker’s Real Estate Section. “Carina first came to our attention when she impressed us with her handling of the other side of a major transaction and we decided we would be better off having her on our team,” said Managing Partner Jeff Oderman. Oesterreich, a 2002 graduate of UCLA School of Law, came to the firm’s Employment and Labor Section from Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth LLP. Robinson -- a 2000 graduate of the UCLA School of Law with experience in Securities law, mergers and acquisition and secured lending -- comes from White & Case LLP in Los Angeles. He will begin work in Rutan & Tucker’s Corporate Section on July 6. “We are very happy to have these three excellent young attorneys join us,” said Oderman. “We are excited at the prospect of their contributing to the firm for many years to come.” The addition of Verano, Oesterreich and Robinson brings Rutan & Tucker’s total attorney count to 138 in its two offices in Orange County and Silicon Valley. The three new associates all are based in the headquarters office in Costa Mesa.
