Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP

Orrick organizes its practice around energy and infrastructure, technology and innovation, finance, and life sciences and health technology. Its international platform serves businesses and investors working in those sectors. The firm's materials connect legal advice with the funding, development, and commercialization of new companies and major projects.

In energy and infrastructure, Orrick advises on deals and disputes associated with building and financing assets. Its current sector research includes offshore wind and the infrastructure needed to meet changing electricity demand. Published technology matters also include financing rounds and acquisitions involving artificial intelligence businesses, illustrating the connection between innovation and investment.

For students, the sector model provides a useful bridge between a preferred industry and a legal discipline. An energy or technology matter may call for corporate, financing, regulatory, or disputes work. Orrick's practice materials show how those disciplines operate around the commercial development of a company, technology, or infrastructure asset.
