Ropes & Gray, which has long been building out its San Francisco and Silicon Valley offices, has elevated San Francisco partner Greg Davis a co-managing partner for those locations.

Davis will replace former co-managing partner Rick Gallagher in San Francisco. While, Raj Marphatia, who is based primarily in Palo Alto, will also continue as a co-managing partner for the firm's West Coast presence.

“Although Ropes & Gray has an integrated offering in terms of our West Coast services, we've always had a partner from each of the Bay Area offices acting as co-leaders,” Davis said. “This underscores Ropes & Gray's broader collaborative approach. Raj and I have worked together for nearly two decades.”
