About Our Los Angeles Office

Wilson Sonsini's Los Angeles office opened in 2013 as the firm's second outpost in Southern California. The city is a natural fit for the firm, with a thriving and entrepreneurial business community, a diverse range of technology and life sciences companies, an extensive network of venture capital and institutional investors, and substantial global reach. Our Los Angeles-based clients span a broad spectrum of industries, including many life sciences and technology sectors, new and traditional media and entertainment, energy and clean technology, and retail and consumer products and services.

Complex patent litigation is a main focus of the Los Angeles office. Working closely with other members of the firm's highly regarded IP litigation practice, our LA-based attorneys are experienced in all aspects of IP litigation, including bench and jury trials in federal and state courts throughout the country. The team also regularly handles IP matters before administrative tribunals such as the International Trade Commission and the Federal Trade Commission. In addition, our attorneys provide strategic IP counseling for clients on issues related to patents, trade secrets, copyrights, trademarks, employee mobility, unfair competition, and many other IP-related matters.

Our Los Angeles team also features attorneys who represent both public and private companies in a variety of corporate and securities transactions, including mergers and acquisitions, initial public offerings, equity and debt financings, and joint ventures. Additionally, they advise clients on corporate governance and securities compliance matters.

Through the seamless integration of all Wilson Sonsini offices, we leverage the institutional experience and resources of the entire firm to provide high-quality services to clients. Our proprietary collaborative systems give our attorneys immediate access to the firm's collective expertise and knowledge, enabling them to respond quickly with effective solutions for our clients.
