Daniel Kahn, the founder of Red Bridge Law in 2013, will be based in Wilson Sonsini’s Brussels office. According to a company statement, he will focus on generating new business--both in the U.S. and in Continental Europe--in transactional and regulatory areas, including M&A, capital markets, privacy, and cybersecurity, while assisting select clients when coming to Europe.

The global law firm, which has deep roots in Silicon Valley, says it is the “the premier provider of legal services to technology, life sciences, and growth enterprises worldwide.”

Kahn received his LL.M. in business law from Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law in 1980, and his master’s degree in commercial law from Strasbourg University’s Faculty of Law in 1979. Prior to founding Red Bridge, Kahn had founded and managed Kahn & Associés, a boutique law firm in Paris, and also co-founded the Biolegis network of 19 independent law firms in Europe.

“Daniel’s wealth of connections with European law firms and top business leaders will be of great value to our clients and our firm’s efforts to expand,” said Cédric Burton, managing partner of Wilson Sonsini’s Brussels office and global co-chair of the firm’s privacy and cybersecurity practice. “We’ve known Daniel for years and are pleased to welcome him to the firm.”

Kahn said he was “extremely pleased” to be joining the firm and helping to expand its reach and unique brand throughout Europe. “My first experience with Wilson Sonsini dates back to 1988, when I visited Palo Alto and Silicon Valley for the first time, and since then, we’ve had the opportunity to work together to assist technology clients with their local or global transactions and operations,” said Kahn. “I’ve always been impressed by the firm’s partners, because they are excellent lawyers who are also effective business advisors—and many of them have become dear friends.”
