Freshfields Opens Silicon Valley Office

Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer announced that it will be opening a new office in the Silicon Valley with seven founding partners. Leading corporate lawyers Sarah Solum, John Fisher, and Maj Vaseghi, together with litigators Boris Feldman and Doru Gavril, will join as new partners. 

They will launch the office with US capital markets partner Pamela Marcogliese and antitrust partner Alan Ryan, who will return to the US from his current base in Brussels. This group brings market-leading expertise in corporate and M&A, employee benefits, regulatory, and litigation, combined with a reputation for delivering outstanding client service.

“Silicon Valley is one of the most dynamic regions in the world and it continues to lead innovation across the globe,” said Freshfields’ Chair Edward Braham. “The impact and strategic importance of technology and life sciences businesses will only continue to grow and advisers who can provide strategic counsel on key domestic issues within a global context will be highly prized. We are thrilled to have five of the country’s top corporate and litigation lawyers from the Bay Area join us to deliver the firm and its expertise seamlessly in Northern California.”

“Combining this dream team of talent with our global platform and our high-powered teams in New York and DC enables us to respond to the needs of Bay Area clients. These needs are global, complex and demanding of constant focus and creativity,” said Ethan Klingsberg, partner and Head of US Corporate and M&A, Freshfields. “Just as Bay Area clients are fearless in their approach, so is Freshfields. We are committed to serving our clients with the broad and deep resources that their strategic plans merit.”
