Wilson Sonsini Named a “California Powerhouse” by Law360
Wilson Sonsini was honored as a 2022 "California Powerhouse” by Law360 as part of the publication’s 2022 Regional Powerhouses feature. Overall, Law360 recognized 43 law firms handling some of the biggest deals and most high-profile courtroom battles across nine states, offering clients regional expertise and making a lasting impact on the law at the state and local level.
The 2022 California Powerhouses have steered multibillion-dollar deals, defended technology and pharmaceutical clients against high-stakes litigation, and secured nine-figure trial wins amid a recently booming Golden State legal market that has abruptly slowed in the face of recession fears, according to experts. Firms on the California Powerhouse list range in size from 72 to 556 attorneys across their practices in the Golden State. Regardless of size, each firm has secured significant legal victories for their clients in the past year, on top of helping guide headline-grabbing transactions.
The accompanying profile highlights the firm's involvement in some of the largest technology-related transactions of the past year, including Zynga's $12.7 billion sale to Take Two Interactive, DoorDash's $8.1 billion acquisition of Wolt, and Mandiant's $5.4 billion acquisition by Google. The profile also referenced the widely publicized $44 billion acquisition of Twitter by Elon Musk, where Wilson Sonsini was the main firm representing the social media app in the transaction and now is among the team representing Twitter in litigation.
