Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP
City-funded organization
Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP is a global law firm founded in 1863 and headquartered in San Francisco, with a New York office at 51 West 52nd Street practicing litigation/IP, finance, energy and infrastructure, and corporate/tech law. The firm has repeatedly served the City as special or disclosure counsel on New York City general obligation and water finance bond offerings; its Law Department contracts include an active $12.5 million contract for legal services related to the NYCDDC borough-based jails program and a $5 million disclosure counsel contract, both negotiated rather than competitively bid, alongside a $6 million disclosure counsel contract won through RFP. Across 13 city contracts since 2009 totaling $40 million all-time, 85% of contract value ($34 million) was awarded without a fresh competitive bid, largely through renewals of its disclosure counsel retainer.
