About Palo Alto

Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati was founded in Palo Alto in 1961. Although we since have grown to a nationwide firm, we continue to take pride in our Silicon Valley roots and the strong and long-lasting relationships we have established with the region's technology, life sciences, and growth companies, as well as the local venture capital community.

Our Palo Alto office offers clients a full range of legal services, including corporate formation of technology and growth start-ups; negotiation of venture capital financing; representation in initial public offerings and secondary offerings; counseling on complex corporate and governance issues; negotiation of complex technology and business transactions, strategic alliances, and joint ventures; representation and negotiation in mergers and acquisitions; protection of intellectual property; and representation in antitrust, securities, employment, and intellectual property litigation.

The office serves clients in all technology, life sciences, and growth industries, including communications and networking, computer hardware and software, information services, media and entertainment, consumer products and retailing, life sciences, semiconductors, and financial services.
