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.
