Matheson Ormsby Prentice changing name, launching new brand identity
Law firm Matheson Ormsby Prentice is changing its name to Matheson and rolling out a new brand identity from Tuesday 30 October 2012.
According to Matheson, this will be “another important step in the firm’s strategy to differentiate itself from other law firms by its primary focus on international companies and financial institutions doing business in and through Ireland”.
“Many of our international clients already refer to us as Matheson,” said managing partner, Liam Quirke. “Formally rebranding the firm as Matheson is, therefore, a logical but nonetheless exciting milestone for us.”
Matheson employs more than 600 people in its Dublin, London, New York and Silicon Valley offices. The firm opened its London office in the 1980s and, in 1996, was the first European law firm to open an office in Silicon Valley. The New York office was opened in 2003.
The firm said it now acts for more than half of the Fortune 100 companies and 27 of the world’s 50 largest financial institutions, with these now accounting for nearly 80pc of its business.
