Firm News2/1/2006 Merger Completed between Gordon & Glickson and McGuireWoodsMcGuireWoods LLP, one of the 100 largest law firms in the world, announced that its merger with Gordon & Glickson LLC, a Chicago-based law firm internationally known for its information technology practice, has been completed. As part of the merger, McGuireWoods has launched a new Technology & Business Department that will be chaired by Mark L. Gordon, formerly the managing partner of Gordon & Glickson. For more than two decades, Gordon & Glickson was a leader in advising clients in the technology-based sectors, as well as providing legal counsel on technology-related issues to clients in all other industries, government agencies and not-for-profit organizations. The new department will follow the same model and provide legal advice to clients in the technology industry as well as to clients in other industries on technology matters. “We are very excited that the lawyers of Gordon & Glickson have joined us, and we have created this new department,” said Robert L. Burrus, Jr., chairman of McGuireWoods. “Technology can vary widely from one industry to another ─ yet the same legal issues involving each technology span these different industry sectors. We already have received many inquiries about this new department and believe that the merger will provide many opportunities to better serve our clients.” Mark L. Gordon said he sees this new department as an opportunity to serve a broad range of clients who have legal needs concerning technology with the focus that a boutique law firm brings to the table, combined with the depth and breadth of McGuireWoods. “The multidisciplinary approach that the Technology & Business Department is taking offers many opportunities. The lawyers in this department understand technology, whether they are providing legal advice to clients in the technology sector, or providing legal advice regarding technology used in other industries,” Gordon said. “Gordon & Glickson’s core focus on technology for 25 years, combined with McGuireWoods’ wide range of legal services and network of offices, will provide clients with multiple legal solutions involving their technology needs.” PRESS CONTACT Leslie A.
