The practice of our Palo Alto office reflects the breadth and prominence of S&C generally, emphasizing representation of technology companies in securities offerings, acquisitions, dispositions and joint ventures, private equity/venture capital, litigation, tax, executive compensation and estates and personal matters. The office is an integrated part of the Firm’s global practice and, as a result, is able to provide both U.S. and international clients with an unparalleled level of expertise, experience and resources in technology related matters.
