National Law Firm Michelman & Robinson is increasing its presence and opening a new office in the Dallas region.

According to the press release, the firm chose Dallas to be the location of its first office in Texas because of the region's rapid growth.

"There is no denying the importance of Texas in today's legal marketplace," Sanford Michelman founding partner at M&R said, according to the press release. "The state, and Dallas in particular, are booming, with countless major companies relocating there. For us, a strong presence in Dallas not only helps to serve our existing client base in Texas, but also allows for our continued growth throughout the Southwest."

The new office will house the law firm’s renowned intellectual property, data privacy and cybersecurity practice groups and will be managed by partners Matthew Yarbrough and Jason Blackstone, who are both Texas natives.

"We have in Matthew and Jason two extraordinary attorneys who give us a foothold in three extremely important and growing practice areas: namely, IP, data privacy and cybersecurity," Michelman said. "Today, businesses and organizations must not only defend from a perpetual onslaught of external IP, privacy and cybersecurity threats, but they also need strategic guidance on the ever-expanding landscape of international cyber regulation, laws and government enforcement actions. Matthew and Jason are two of the very best at helping clients navigate these minefields."

M&R is headquartered in Los Angeles, and it has offices in Orange County, San Francisco, Chicago and New York City.
