This acquisition is part of Orrick’s broader strategy to bolster its European operations, particularly after significant growth in regions such as London and Paris. The firm has been actively targeting key markets to better serve its international clientele, reflecting a deliberate focus on expanding its transactional practice and capitalizing on opportunities within the EU.
