Bryan Cave LLP is an international law firm with twenty-four offices worldwide, headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, United States.
History
In 2002, Bryan Cave acquired New York-based Robinson, Silverman, Pearce, Aronsohn, and Berman LLP, bringing the headcount of the combined firms up to over 800 lawyers.[2]
The firm established an office in southern Illinois in 2004 to assist clients with class action, product liability and commercial litigation matters in Madison and St. Clair Counties in Illinois.
In 2005 Bryan Cave lost its Riyadh and Dubai offices to the Houston, Texas-based mega-firm Fulbright & Jaworski, but retained its office in Kuwait.[3] The Kuwait office however soon closed as well.
Bryan Cave expanded further in 2007 when it opened an office in Hamburg[4] and Milan. In 2008, the firm opened offices in San Francisco and Paris.[4] In 2009, Bryan Cave and Atlanta-based Powell Goldstein merged, creating an expanded firm with new offices in Atlanta, Charlotte and Dallas.
At the beginning of 2012, Bryan Cave merged with Holme Roberts & Owen (HRO), a law firm based in Denver, Colorado with over 210 attorneys.[5]
Bryan Cave also established an office in Frankfurt, Germany in 2012, to be integrated with the firm’s already established Hamburg office.
