Gordon Rees Scully Mansukhani announced the opening this week of an office in New Orleans and the hiring of a five-partner team from local firm Bland & Partners, including name partner David Bland.

The N’awlins opening counts as the 851-lawyer firm’s 51st office nationwide and its fourth new one in 2018. Gordon Rees, which had $331 million in gross revenue last year, set up shop in Detroit and Missoula, Montana, in April, two months after the firm moved into Louisville, Kentucky.
