William Fry to open third office in US

Irish law firm William Fry is expanding in the US, opening a third office in 2016.

The new office will be located in San Francisco, joining its offices in New York and Silicon Valley.

The company said the move was due to “robust growth” in recent years. William Fry works with a number of US and multinational clients, and the office is part of its commitment to the needs of international clients.

"There are strong synergies between the US and Ireland and we continue to see increased interest from US companies in doing business in Ireland," said William Fry's managing partner Bryan Bourke. "Opening an office in San Francisco, our third in the US, will allow us to further highlight the opportunities that Ireland has to offer and will allow us to better serve our US clients."
