North America

Bird & Bird has long advised North American companies on their international activities in Europe, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific. Whether you're based in the United States or Canada, we can provide you with industry specific expert advice across all of our sectors, on matters including large scale litigation, complex restructuring projects, patent litigation and brand protection, data protection audits and advice, transformational projects, international expansion outside North American and coordinated multijurisdictional services.

When your needs include a North American component, we have extensive experience working with leading US and Canadian law firms to deliver a seamless global service to our clients.

We opened our San Francisco office in 2018 to provide our US clients better access to our legal services and advice related to matters in Europe, Asia-Pacific and the Middle East. Opening our San Francisco office did not change our previous approach of not providing US law services: we continue to work with US law firms where clients need advice on US law matters.

For further information regarding our work in the US please contact Chris de Mauny or Vincent Rezzouk-Hammachi and for Canada, please contact Jennifer Jones.
