Gordon Rees Scully Mansukhani, an expanding Am Law 200 firm, has its eyes on new horizons, announcing plans this week to open a pair of new outposts on Nov. 1 in Columbus, Ohio and Wheeling, West Virginia. The new locales bring the 500-lawyer firm’s total number of offices to 37.

S. Manoj Jegasothy, a managing partner of Gordon Rees’ Pittsburgh office who led a team of seven Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney lawyers that joined the firm in March 2012, will serve as co-managing partner for both new offices. Jegasothy also serves as co-managing partner of Gordon Rees’ office in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, as well as co-chair of the firm’s contract disputes practice and a member of its commercial, product liability, employment litigation and drug and medical device litigation practices.
