Sedgwick’s Orange County Office Celebrates 20th Anniversary

June 9th, 2008

Sedgwick, Detert, Moran & Arnold LLP announced the firm’s Orange County office will host an open house with clients and colleagues on June 20th to celebrate its 20th anniversary. Conceived
as a two-attorney satellite office to Sedgwick’s Los Angeles office, the Orange County office quickly established itself as an independent source of the firm’s business, growing to more than 20 attorneys and serving Sedgwick’s Southern California clients as well as the Southern California needs of its national clients.

Curtis Parvin, Sedgwick Orange County’s first associate in 1988, and now the office’s managing partner, has been with Sedgwick his entire career. “The 20th anniversary of Sedgwick’s Orange County office is a wonderful occasion to reflect on how much our attorneys and staff have accomplished together,” said Mr. Parvin. “I’m proud to work alongside such talented people, as we continue to serve our clients in Orange County and across the country.”

The attorneys of Sedgwick’s Orange County office practice in a variety of areas, including media, construction, insurance, commercial, mass torts, products liability, toxic torts, environmental, professional liability, catastrophic injury defense and business litigation. In addition to their legal accomplishments, the attorneys also devote their time to pro bono initiatives and community programs which frequently focus on youth initiatives, such as their partnership with the Orange County chapter of Girls Incorporated, a national nonprofit youth organization dedicated to inspiring all girls to be strong, smart, and bold. Sedgwick Orange County also supports diversity initiatives, as evidenced by its Women’s Forum program and its involvement as a co-sponsor of the Women’s Summit.

The international litigation and business law firm of Sedgwick, Detert, Moran & Arnold LLP is also celebrating an anniversary as a firm this year: 75 years in operation. The Sedgwick firm provides its clients vigorous defense strategies and long-term litigation avoidance counseling. With more than 400 attorneys in offices in Austin, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, London, Los Angeles, New York, Newark, Orange County (California), Paris, San Francisco and Zurich, and an associated office in Bermuda, Sedgwick's collective experience spans the globe and virtually every industry.
