McGuireWoods LLP

McGuireWoods to Merge With Van Etten Suzumoto & Becket
McGuireWoods said on Tuesday that it plans to merge with Los Angeles-based Van Etten Suzumoto & Becket.

Van Etten Suzumoto & Becket has 40 attorneys and serves clients that range from corporations to individuals in industries from health care to pharmaceutical and technology, among others.

Last year, McGuireWoods opened a Los Angeles office at the request of clients. The firm said that the merger will help service the growing demands of those clients.

"Once we were there, we began thinking about a stronger presence," McGuireWoods Chairman Robert Burrus said. Van Etten Suzumoto & Becket, he said, "had the same kind of core values in terms of client services."

In January, Richmond, Va.-based McGuireWoods agreed to merge with Chicago-based law firm Gordon & Glickson to form a new technology and business department consisting of 40 to 50 attorneys.

The 750-lawyer McGuireWoods is listed at No. 63 on The American Lawyer's Am Law 100 rankings of U.S. law firms.

McGuireWoods has 15 offices in the United States, Europe and Central Asia. McGuireWoods clients span public, private, government and nonprofit areas from industries such as automotive, energy, health care, telecommunications, technology, manufacturing and transportation.
