New York partner-in-charge James H. Sullivan, Jr. was featured in a New York Law Journal article, “Simpson, Cleary Drive NYC Office Leasing Comeback,” (subscription required) discussing Alston & Bird’s New York office expansion.
The article notes that Alston & Bird signed the third-largest New York law firm lease in Q2 2026. James explained that the move to a larger office will support continued growth. “New York continues to be a growth market for our firm, and this office move reflects the momentum we continue to generate in this dynamic market,” he said, noting that the firm has expanded its New York team by 40% over the last three years in areas including finance, banking, insurance, and health care.
