Reed Smith announced last week the opening of their 21st US, 34th Global office in Boston. The firm opens with 12 attorneys that will bolster their private equity, M&A, finance, and fund formation practices. From the firm's announcement:
“Our Boston opening is a direct response to our clients, who want us closer to their business and in the places where they are investing and growing,” said Casey Ryan, Reed Smith’s Global Managing Partner. “Boston is a premier market for private equity, finance, banking, and life sciences, and our expansion reflects our commitment to these practices and industries.”
The firm’s opening includes top talent from Boston mainstays, including White & Case, Goodwin, McDermott Will & Schulte, Morrison Foerster, Kirkland & Ellis, and K&L Gates.
“By continuing to invest in top-tier lawyers, we bring the strength and resources to help clients achieve their most important business objectives, today and over the long term,” added Ryan. “As a firm, we are firing on all cylinders. Boston marks our fourth new office in the past 14 months, following Atlanta, Denver, and Riyadh, underscoring the exceptional growth and momentum we are seeing with clients around the globe.”
Compass Law Group is glad to have facilitated this impressive opening.
"Working with Reed Smith to open Boston has been a real pleasure," said MacKenzie Alexander, Director at Compass Law. "To come alongside a firm and help execute their strategic growth plan is what I love to do, and I am excited to see Reed Smith make such a splash."
This is our third office opening with Reed Smith, opening Atlanta and Denver previously. Since 2018, Compass Law Group has opened 21 Am law 200 offices in major markets across the country.
