A new office of the Texas-based law firm Vinson & Elkins has officially opened its doors in the bustling Cherry Creek neighborhood of Denver on Friday. This move has been hailed as a strategic decision by the firm's managing partner for the Denver office, Sarah Morgan, who believes that the city's central location and easy access to both coasts and Texas will greatly benefit companies with national and international business operations.
Morgan, who also co-heads the firm's mergers and acquisitions and capital markets practice, is confident that Denver's thriving business ecosystem and abundance of legal talent will present numerous opportunities for the firm to expand its local client base and attract top-notch lawyers.
Joining Morgan in this endeavor are partners Michael Joyce and Ramey Layne, who will be working towards bringing in more partners and associates to the office. Layne, in particular, is excited about Denver's dynamic culture that fosters innovation and cooperation across various industries, ranging from real estate to technology to energy.
The Denver office will primarily focus on mergers and acquisitions, securities, tax equity, and project finance transactions. This is a field that the firm has a wealth of experience in, having successfully worked on over 1,000 transactions in the past decade, with a total value exceeding $1 trillion. Some of these transactions have involved prominent Colorado-based companies.
Furthermore, the firm has also worked on more than 100 initial public offerings, with a combined value of over $36 billion. This includes multiple initial public offerings for Colorado companies. However, the firm's spokesperson was unable to disclose any specific names.
Founded in 1917, Vinson & Elkins has established a global presence, with 13 offices worldwide, including New York, Dublin, London, Tokyo, and now Denver. The new office is located in the First Avenue Plaza at 44 Cook St., a prime location in the Cherry Creek neighborhood.
