Davis Polk & Wardwell moved into a new office in Northern California this week, expanding its square footage by 31% in anticipation of hiring more lawyers in practice groups including capital markets and IP litigation.

The firm is moving after almost 25 years at 1600 El Camino Real in Menlo Park, an office Davis Polk’s West Coast commercial litigation practice leader and Northern California office co-head Neal Potischman said served the firm well but was becoming outdated.
