Our clients range from FORTUNE 50 companies to start-ups and everything in between. We represent technology, computer, electronics, and software companies; biotech and pharmaceutical companies; banking, financial services, and insurance companies; hedge funds, private equity firms, and venture capital funds; consumer products, personal care, food, wine, and industrial companies; healthcare providers and hospitality companies; media and entertainment companies; and professional sports teams.

Lawyers in our San Francisco office are regularly recognized by Chambers and Legal 500, and a significant number have been named on the Daily Journal's "Top Intellectual Property Attorneys," "Top Labor & Employment Attorneys," and "Top Antitrust Attorneys" lists. In addition, Managing Intellectual Property and LMG Life Sciences have recognized members of our team in their publications.

Like our colleagues across the firm, we are passionate about community involvement. Our attorneys are actively involved in numerous pro bono matters, including representing victims of domestic violence and those seeking asylum, protecting access to reproductive healthcare, safeguarding the right to vote, assisting our veterans, and supporting local small businesses and non-profits in underrepresented communities.
