Arent Fox Signs Lease for New San Francisco Office

Washington, DC — Arent Fox LLP, a leading national law firm, announced that its new San Francisco office will be located in the KPMG Building at 55 2nd Street in the city’s Financial District. The office is scheduled to open this June.

“The partnership is looking forward to moving into San Francisco and building off the success of our Los Angeles office,” said firm Chairman Mark M. Katz. “Our new office will open with Arent Fox partners and associates relocating from Los Angeles, New York, and Washington. We intend to add partners strategically as an extension of the firm’s strong organic growth in California. Our team in San Francisco will reflect the firm’s commitment to providing clients with first-rate legal services.”

As a result of client demand, the firm also plans to expand its nationally recognized Health Care practice into Northern California. Los Angeles-based Health Care partner Lowell C. Brown will spend a substantial amount of time in the new San Francisco office.

Partners who are moving full-time to San Francisco for the June opening are Complex Litigation partner Michael S. Cryan, who focuses on complex commercial litigation and domestic and international arbitration; and Automotive partner Victor P. Danhi, who represents national and regional automotive dealership clients in consumer class actions, complex litigation, and federal and state regulatory matters. Mr. Cryan is currently resident in the firm’s New York office and Mr. Danhi practices in Los Angeles. In September, Sports group leader and Corporate & Securities and Real Estate partner Richard L. Brand, who represents a number of professional sports teams in deals that include media rights, naming rights, acquisitions of franchises, and sponsorships, will also join the office from Washington, DC.

The 25-story, 379,330-square-foot office building is located in the Mission Street Corridor. It was designed by Heller Manus and completed in 2002.
