Foley's Digital Infrastructure Arrivals Featured Across Legal Press

Foley & Lardner LLP partners Daniel Farris and Joe McClendon are featured in legal press for their arrival to the firm.

Foley Chairman and CEO Daljit Doogal said in a statement highlighted in the Law360 article, “Foley & Lardner Adds Partners In Chicago From Norton Rose,” that Farris and McClendon bring “a unique combination of legal insight and technical knowledge that will further strengthen our ability to deliver practical solutions in fast-evolving sectors.”

“I was attracted to Foley for the firm’s innovative and progressive approach, growth mindset, and sector- and market-driven approach,” Farris told Law360. “In particular, my data center/digital technology, technology transactions, and digital transformation-focused practice sits at the junction of two of Foley’s strategic areas of focus: energy and infrastructure, and innovative technology.

“The firm has cultivated a culture of partners supporting other partners, and it absolutely shows with groups of peers putting their heads together to bounce ideas and find new ways to grow existing client relationships,” McClendon added. “The legal market is saturated and being part of a firm that emphasizes working together to find that new business is the most important factor for non-litigation attorneys. All of that coupled with an established and sophisticated tech practice group that is supportive of my practice made the move to Foley a no-brainer.”

Coverage of their arrival also appeared in The American Lawyer, Bloomberg Law here and here, Chicago Daily Law Bulletin, Cybersecurity Law Report, General Counsel News, Global Legal Chronicle, Privacy Daily, and Westlaw Today.
