San Francisco Office

Orrick’s founding office opened in 1863, and for 140 years has played a major role in shaping present-day San Francisco. We helped guide the financing of such landmark projects as the Golden Gate Bridge, Candlestick Park, BART, and the George Moscone Convention Center. Today, we represent many of the Bay Area’s leading companies and institutions in their corporate transactions and litigation disputes both domestically and internationally.

With more than 150 resident lawyers, Orrick’s San Francisco office provides legal services to clients in a wide range of industry sectors including financial services, municipalities, real estate, manufacturing, utilities, and energy. In addition, our lawyers have extensive emerging markets experience representing international development and commercial banks and industrial companies conducting operations around the globe.

In fact, Orrick's San Francisco office is highly respected in the U.S., Asian, and European marketplaces for work on major cross-border and domestic legal matters involving corporate, litigation, intellectual property, public finance, tax, labor and employment, private finance, bankruptcy, structured finance, real estate, and energy and project finance.

Across the firm, seamless client service is Orrick’s number one goal. When needed, our San Francisco lawyers can call on the substantial resources of Orrick's other U.S., European, and Asian offices to provide clients with the kind of comprehensive expertise and support they need for their domestic and international transactions.
