Biglaw firms are increasingly opening offices in regional hotspots to capture market share. Freshfields is entering Boston, highlighting existing client relationships. Reed Smith is expanding in Denver, bolstered by new attorney hires to address market demands, particularly in private equity and technology. Meanwhile, McDermott Will & Emery is launching its Nashville office to enhance its health and life sciences practice, bringing in a significant group from K&L Gates. This strategic growth reflects an overall trend in legal service market dynamics and demand across the country.
"Our entire reason for being in Boston is because we know that's what our clients want and need from us," Solum told the American Lawyer. "We’re not new in terms of the companies and firms we work with."
"We know Denver is a very vibrant and fast-growing community," Julie Hardin, the firm's managing partner of the Americas, told the American Lawyer. "What we also see is the private equity and technology dollars flowing into the market."
"a transformative addition" to the firm, Kristian Werling highlighted the significance of the new four-partner group joining McDermott's health and life sciences practice.
