Mishcon de Reya Opens its First International Office.
Mishcon Opens Office in New York.
Mishcon De Reya opened their first international office in New York on Tuesday January 19th.
It will be a bespoke litigation practice with a specific focus on white collar criminal and complex commercial litigation, including regulatory and international arbitration. It will offer a Rolls-Royce litigation service to their clients, enhancing and extending the scope and reach of their London litigation practice. They will also continue to maintain and enhance many of their other longstanding commercial arrangements with US law firms.
A team of 15 will staff the office under Managing Partner James J. McGuire. Jim was the founding partner of US firm Sheppard Mullin Richter & Hampton LLP’s New York office and former partner of international law firm White & Case. He is a recognised expert in both civil and white collar criminal litigation. Furthermore, Jim has a proven track record in building and growing New York practices, a skill we are confident he will bring to our new venture.
Jim has extensive experience in litigation matters, at both the trial and appellate levels, and has successfully tried over twenty jury cases to verdict. Jim will be joined by a further two litigation partners - Mark Berube and Tim McCarthy from Sheppard Mullin - together with a number of associates and support staff. All are delighted to welcome them all to the Mishcon de Reya team.
Mishcon have made the following statements to the Press:
On Jim's behalf:
“Mishcon de Reya’s reputation precedes it – as a results driven, litigation-led firm with high profile corporate and high net worth individual clients. Our practices and client bases have many synergies , with two that really stand out: our business focus and our internationalism. I’m very excited about introducing and establishing the Mishcon de Reya name in the New York market.”
On their behalf:
“We are delighted to have Jim, Mark and Tim leading our New York office. Opening our first international office in one of the major financial centres of the world, is an exciting opportunity for both our business and for our clients. It is also timely. There has been a rise in the level of regulation globally. A presence in two of the world’s leading financial centres is exactly what clients of the expanded firm need. “
Mishcon already enjoys a strong profile and reputation in London. With Jim heading our New York office we look forward to the same in the US.”
