Clyde & Co opens Calif. office

   Clyde & Co – a global law firm focused on insurance, aviation, energy, infrastructure, natural resources, marine and trade – will open an office in Southern California, headed by Joe Walsh, the company announced Monday.
   “Opening an office in Orange County is a further step in our expansion in the United States,” Senior Partner James Burns said in a press release. “Our San Francisco office … focuses primarily on non-marine insurance, aviation and litigation. Through Joe and the new office, we have an ideal opportunity to expand our West Coast offering in the marine and energy markets, two of the firm’s core sectors.”
   The office will be in Newport Beach.
   Clyde & Co has more than 100 lawyers across four offices in New York, New Jersey, Atlanta and San Francisco.
