The San Francisco-based makers of a software platform for law firms expanded its footprint to include Pittsburgh among a list of select cities globally for the tech company to have an office location.
Opus 2 International now staffs about a dozen employees out of its downtown Pittsburgh office location in the Federated Tower at Liberty Center.
"We expect to grow this team significantly in the future to support our growing client base," Arunn Ramadoss, head of marketing at Opus 2, said in an email statement to Pittsburgh Inno.
Its Pittsburgh office marks the company's second office location in North America, which employs about 300 globally across its headquarters in San Francisco and other office locations in the U.K., Singapore and Australia.
"We are excited about our expansion in Pittsburgh, which will support our continued growth in the U.S.," Opus 2 Senior Vice President of Business Development Don Fuchs said in a prepared statement. "This is a fantastic city for us to grow our teams when considering the access Pittsburgh provides to a world-class talent pool and the great quality of life our employees can have here."
Mike Harding, vice president of business investment at the Pittsburgh Regional Alliance, an affiliate of the Allegheny Conference on Community Development, celebrated Opus 2's establishment of an office location in the city.
"For companies that are transforming how we live, work and do business, our innovation-supportive ecosystem is there to support launch, growth and scaling," Harding said in a prepared statement. "We want the Pittsburgh region to be part of every stage of their success."
Opus 2 joins a growing list of outside tech firms that have either built out their presence here or relocated to Pittsburgh completely over the past few months.
Earlier in June, Valley Capital Partners, based in Palo Alto, California, established a Pittsburgh office and is looking to fund local tech companies with seed to Series A funding rounds ranging from $3 million to $7 million.
In May, Houston-based biotech firm Castle Biosciences Inc. celebrated the opening of a 40,000-square-foot office and lab space in the North Side, a significant expansion over its prior footprint here.
And last November, AI predictive retail pricing tracking platform Netail put Pittsburgh down as its headquarters following an investment round co-led by Pittsburgh-based Magarac Venture Partners.
