ABOUT THE ORRICK EMERGING COMPANIES GROUP

For emerging companies and the venture capitalists and investment banks that support them, Orrick provides experienced legal and business guidance to serve the needs of dynamic companies from inception to maturity.

Unlike regional law firms that may focus on emerging companies, but don’t have the national and international resources to service those companies as they grow, Orrick has offices and connections worldwide. While Orrick is a large firm with the capabilities to advise the most complex multinational companies, we also have an experienced group of lawyers dedicated to assisting emerging companies as they grow and succeed.
