Graham & James
Graham & James LLP is a now-defunct law firm. It was founded as Graham & Morse by Chalmers Graham and Clarence Morse in San Francisco in 1934, and was renamed after Morse left the firm to become chair of the Federal Maritime Commission.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://web.archive.org/web/19990910234749/http://www.gj.com/frame.htm?img=9 )〕 The firm was originally a small firm focused on the maritime industry.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://digitalassets.lib.berkeley.edu/roho/ucb/text/calhoun_alexander_2014.pdf )〕
The firm was active in Asia as early as the 1950s, when it sent one of its lawyers to Tokyo.〔 It formed a strategic alliance with the Deacons law firm in Hong Kong and the Price Sanond law firm in Bangkok, operating in Asia under the collective name "Deacons Graham & James."〔http://www.pricesanond.com/about-us/history.php〕
With the bulk of its practice focused on the Pacific Rim, Graham & James was severely affected by the Asian economic crisis of the 1990s. By then, it was primarily an intellectual property and technology firm, with California and Asian offices. Graham & James attempted to merge with the New York firm of Reid & Priest in 1991,〔http://articles.latimes.com/1991-06-04/business/fi-300_1_new-york-law-firm〕 and also had a partnership with the Seattle law firm of Riddell Williams from 1995 to 1999.〔http://www.bizjournals.com/seattle/stories/1999/12/20/story5.html?page=all〕 As of June 1999 it had around 340 attorneys.〔 The alliance with Deacons dissolved in June 2000, with Deacons backing out due to G&J's failure to commit resources to Asia and dwindling position in US law firm rankings.〔http://www.iflr.com/Article/1980806/Deacons-dumps-Graham-and-James.html〕
In June 2000, it effected two transactions. Reflecting internal divisions among its partners and affiliates, most partners in the California, Tokyo and Beijing offices of the firm merged with Squire, Sanders & Dempsey,〔; see also http://www.thelawyer.com/greenberg-traurig-doubles-with-graham-and-james-team/90991.article〕 while the New York office, largely devoted to pharmaceutical patent prosecution, merged with Greenberg Traurig.〔
