New York, NY (October 8, 2018)– Fenwick & West has relocated its New York office to 902 Broadway in the Flatiron district, the center of New York’s technology, startup and venture capital community.
“Our New York office has been a resounding success,” Fenwick chair Richard Dickson said. “The office has grown more than five-fold since opening and we’re at 45 lawyers in New York. We’ve added eight partners in the last three months to help grow our client base and meet our clients’ diverse needs, and we continue to recruit top legal talent in New York who are excited to focus their efforts in the technology and life sciences industries.”
“Fenwick has long had a solid base of clients in the New York area, and we have substantially grown our New York City and East Coast client base in the two years we've been here, expanding our practice areas and broadening our services,” corporate partner Ian Goldstein said. “Our move to the Flatiron district and our unique office space underscores our commitment to innovation in the practice of law and to the support and growth of our East Coast and global client base. The move also allows our team to be more integrated locally with many of the emerging technology and life sciences clients we represent.”
