As San Jose–based storage company Nimble Storage Inc. jumped onto the New York Stock Exchange, it turned to a Silicon Valley team from Fenwick & West for counsel.

Nimble’s $168 million debut continued the record-busting year for initial public offerings. Nimble, which was founded in 2007 and provides a hybrid of flash and hard disk storage solutions, popped more than 60 percent in its first day Friday, and continued trading well this week.
