Significant changes in 2008: Reed Smith launched two interdisciplinary practice groups in 2008: the financial industry group (FIG) and the life sciences health industry group (LSHI). Both groups combine litigation, transactional and regulatory lawyers. The FIG is comprised of more than 250 attorneys who are strictly dedicated to clients in the financial sector focusing on finance, litigation, commercial restructuring and bankruptcy, investment management and regulatory work. The firm’s LSHI group is comprised of 200 professionals across numerous practice areas who are dedicated to clients who help save patients’ lives and preserve their health, whether through biotechnology, pharmaceutical, medical device, life sciences or delivering healthcare. Reed Smith also expanded its footprint, opening and office in the Silicon Valley to better serve the needs of the firm’s local and global technology, life and health sciences, clean tech, finance and venture capital clients.
