ORANGE COUNTY : Paul B. Pressman Joins Law Firm

Paul B. Pressman, a vice president of the Mission Viejo Co. for 10 years, has joined the law firm of McKenna, Conner & Cuneo in its 24-attorney Costa Mesa branch.

Pressman, 57, becomes the 10th lawyer in McKenna Conner’s Orange County real estate department. The Los Angeles-based law firm is best known for its work representing banks and savings and loans.

Pressman joins the law firm after taking early retirement from the Mission Viejo Co., which has long been a major client of McKenna Conner. The development company, one of the largest landowners in Orange County, is expected to continue sending much of its legal work to McKenna Conner, according to Pressman.
