NEW YORK–Greenberg Traurig has opened offices in Orange County and Silicon Valley, Calif.
The branches will focus on the practices of intellectual property, litigation, tax, estate planning and executive compensation, corporate and securities, venture fund formation and private equity funds.

Rounding out the OC office are litigation associates Michael Drury and Stacey Jaramillo.
The Silicon Valley office also has seven attorneys, but talks are underway with 10 others who may eventually join the branch, says Cesar Alvarez, president and CEO of Greenberg Traurig.
Forming the group are corporate and securities shareholders Todd Rumberger, Stefan Clulow and Khoa Do; real estate shareholder Randy Single; executive compensation shareholder Tom LaWer; intellectual property shareholder Heather Meeker, and tax shareholder Fred Adam.
