(Reuters) - Law firm Buchalter said Thursday it has added six lawyers to its outpost in Salt Lake City, joining several other large firms increasing their ranks in the region.

The 350-lawyer firm, which has offices throughout the Western U.S., opened its Salt Lake City office in November with seven lawyers poached from a midsize Utah firm.

Foley & Lardner, another firm that recently launched an office in Utah's capital, also added a team of lawyers to its office this week. Holland & Hart hired a venture capital leader there from Ballard Spahr earlier this month.

Kirkland & Ellis, Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati and Mayer Brown also have opened in the technology-heavy region over the past six months.

Buchalter's new hires include shareholders Douglas Farr, Lance Lehnhof and Blake Cooper. Farr most recently practiced at Snell & Wilmer, while the other five lawyers worked at small Salt Lake City business law firm Carman, Lehnhof and Israelsen.

Farr joins the litigation practice group while the other lawyers will be part of Buchalter's corporate practice.

Representatives for Snell & Wilmer and Carman, Lehnhof and Israelsen didn't immediately respond to requests for comment on the lawyers' departures.
