Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe's newly-hired UK technology team has closed its first deal since joining from Heller Ehrman - sealing the $700m (£472m) sale of web company MessageLabs. Corporate partner Richard Eaton led the team advising longstanding client MessageLabs, which provides messaging and web security services, on its acquisition by software company Symantec. Eaton began working on the deal while he was a partner at now-defunct US law firm Heller, with the transaction closing just three weeks after he joined Orrick as part of a three-partner team at the beginning of November.
