SAN FRANCISCO, 18 August 2004 Legal news, law news, law firm news & research at LAWFUEL – Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP announced today that Elizabeth Lefever has joined the firm as of counsel in the firm’s corporate department, resident in the San Francisco office. Lefever, previously of counsel in the San Francisco office of Clifford Chance, reunites with a number of lawyers who joined Orrick earlier this summer from Clifford Chance’s West Coast offices.
Lefever’s practice is focused on public and private securities offerings, mergers and acquisitions, and advising boards and executives on corporate governance matters.
“Libby’s strong track record advising clients on complex transactions and SEC regulatory matters will significantly enhance our growing West Coast corporate practice. We’re delighted that Libby has chosen Orrick,” said Stephen M. Graham, chair of the firm’s 120-lawyer corporate practice.
Lefever also joins new San Francisco corporate partner Jim Black, who moved to Orrick in early August from Perkins Coie, where he was managing director of their San Francisco office.
Prior to joining Clifford Chance in 2002, Lefever was a corporate associate at Brobeck, Phleger & Harrison for four years, and prior to that, was a corporate associate at Thacher, Proffitt & Wood, in their New York offices.
