Law firm William Fry plans to open an office in San Francisco early next year. The law firm said the decision was promoted by robust growth in recent years and ongoing commitment to the needs of its international clients.

Managing partner Bryan Bourke (pictured) said the San Francisco office will be the firm’s third US office. The practice also has a presence in New York and Silicon Valley.

“There are strong synergies between the US and Ireland and we continue to see increased interest from US companies in doing business in Ireland,” he said. “The new office will allow us to further highlight the opportunities that Ireland has to offer and will allow us to better serve our US clients.”
