Law360 and the Triangle Business Journal are among the media outlets that recently reported on Gordon & Rees's new Raleigh, N.C., office, which opened on Aug. 26.
“We’ve represented a number of clients who are based here in other parts of the country over the years, and we’d like to represent them in their home state,” said Tom Packer, managing partner of the Raleigh office and the firm's general counsel. "We’re one of the few national litigation firms with a presence here, so it’s an area that is attractive to us,” Packer told Law360.
Gordon & Rees’s expansion across the country is part of its long-term plan to open offices in key locations of importance to clients.
