Days after Snap Inc.’s nearly $3.5 billion initial public offering, Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe has announced its opening of an office in Santa Monica, California, a mere 15-minute drive from where Snapchat’s parent company is based.
Orrick technology companies group partner Andrew Erskine will lead the new office along with partner Daniel Kim, both of whom made partner in January and previously worked out of the firm’s Los Angeles office. Erskine said the Santa Monica launch is part of a larger effort to expand Orrick’s focus on technology.
