Adams & Reese on Tuesday announced the addition of four attorneys who represent the Shipbuilders Council of America (SCA), an influential US trade group that is now a client.

Previously Paxton and his team were with Ball Janik, a firm where the foursome served as lawyers and lobbyists for more than ten years.
