It’s been about a year since Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer decided to expand its U.S. operations outside of the I-95 corridor, setting up shop in Silicon Valley with an eye for increased work with tech clients. According to the firm, things are going quite well, fueled by an active initial public offering and mergers and acquisitions market, expanding antitrust work, the ability of the firm to recruit local talent and, as it turns out, a bit of curiosity on the part of prospective clients.
