Taylor Wessing to open new US offices

Taylor Wessing LLP is set to make its first foray into the US with the opening of two new offices, the firm has announced.

The offices in Palo Alto and New York will be headed up by four partners relocated from Europe and Asia.

The firm will not be practicing US law, but will use the new locations to “support US clients' international growth”, it said.

In a statement, Taylor Wessing said it was a “leading firm” for M&A and inward investment from the US into Europe, the Middle East and Asia, combined with a “market-leading reputation” in IP and technology.

The partners in the Palo Alto office will be Mark Barron and Dennis Tan, both corporate technology specialists and Kai Westerwelle, an expert in technology and data protection.

Mike Turner, another corporate technology partner, will be heading the New York office and will be supported by a team of lawyers from Taylor Wessing's international network.

“Taylor Wessing represents many prominent US companies, ranging from early stage businesses to some of the largest corporations and brands in the world, in particular in the tech, media and communications, life sciences, healthcare and energy sectors,” the firm added.

Both offices are set to open in September this year.
