HOUSTON (Jan. 19) – California-based Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe announced Tuesday that it is opening an outpost in Houston with about 20 partners and additional associates and staffing.
Orrick has leased 48,000 square feet on the 41st and 42nd floors in the Fulbright Tower on McKinney Ave. in downtown Houston. The firm declined to identify any of the lawyers who will work in the new operation, but says those announcements will come later.
Orrick has 917 lawyers in 25 offices around the globe, including Houston.
In the firm’s press release issued Tuesday, Orrick says the Houston office “will focus on serving the energy & infrastructure, technology and finance sectors – the sectors in which Orrick is a leading global advisor.
“Orrick will announce teams of founding partners in the coming weeks that focus in each of these areas,” the statement said. “The firm’s new partners will be Texas lawyers who have been practicing in the Houston offices of leading global, national and state firms.”
