Biglaw firms continue to open their doors in cities where business is booming, and the latest firm to do so is Eversheds Sutherland.
The firm — which brought in $1,480,000,000 gross revenue in 2024, putting it at No. 7 on the UK Top 50 — is opening up shop in Silicon Valley, California, thanks to the addition of former Baker McKenzie partner Bradford Newman, who is slated to lead the Eversheds U.S. complex technology litigation and disputes practice. The firm doesn’t have a brick-and-mortar office space just yet, but that’s not stopping them from powering forward. The American Lawyer has additional details:
Hiring Newman and opening the latest Bay Area office [is a] “significant step in our long-term strategy to expand our presence in key innovation hubs,” Eversheds’ co-CEO Lino Mendiola said in a statement Monday. …
Newman said he was “grateful that a number of longstanding clients with whom I have been privileged to work on their most difficult matters have chosen to continue working with me as I transition to Eversheds Sutherland.”
According to a firm spokesperson, when it comes to the hunt for office space, Eversheds is “prioritizing centrally-located offices close to our clients with room to grow and that create opportunities for in-person collaboration.”
Best of luck to Eversheds Sutherland in its new office space — once it finds an office, that is.
