When Gordon & Rees was founded in 1974, the plan was to grow the law firm to 40 lawyers. As it turns out, those were modest goals. In the past five years, San Francisco-based Gordon & Rees has opened 10 offices outside California. And managing partner Dion Cominos says the next goal is to open an office in the Southeastern U.S., possibly in Florida or Atlanta. "The idea is to have our core practice areas represented in all our major markets so our clients can turn to us in any of those areas," he says.
