The number of attorneys working in foreign offices of law firms grew by a hearty 23%, marking a big improvement over last year.

The nation's largest 250 law firms had 12,942 attorneys working in their foreign offices, compared with 10,493 last year. The resurgence in foreign office expansion marks a return to double-digit growth in those locations-- where numbers grew by only 3% last year. Much of the increase was attributable to mergers between U.S. firms and foreign firms. In 2005, Piper Rudnick Gray Cary combined with 1,350-attorney DLA in London. Also this year, Kirkpatrick & Lockhart merged with London firm Nicholson Graham, which had 135 lawyers.

Megamergers aside, most of the growth this year occurred in London, Brussels, Paris and Germany. For example, Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton expanded its London office to 75 attorneys from 60, and its Frankfurt, Germany, office to 60 attorneys from 43 last year. Chadbourne & Parke upped the number of attorneys in almost all of its foreign offices, including adding 10 to its London location and four to its Warsaw, Poland, office.

Some of the other firms showing significant gains to their European offices in 2005 included Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft; Debevoise & Plimpton; Dechert; Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson; and Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher.
