Welcome to Silicon Hills. As the tech hub of Texas, Austin is home to more than 9,600 tech companies and scores of VC and private equity firms, accelerators, and other investors.

Located in the capital of Texas, our Austin office tailors our full range of legal services to the needs of technology and life sciences companies at all stages of development. Joining the Austin team means you will be given fast-paced, exciting work from day one, working with start-ups, entrepreneurs, and venture capital firms.

In addition to representing clients in a broad range of corporate, securities, M&A, and other transactions-related matters, our Austin attorneys advise on governance, employment, privacy and IP, including IP licensing and commercial contracts. Our team also includes experienced litigators who represent clients in complex IP, employment, trade secret, and other commercial disputes.

In Austin, our summer associate program typically recruits two to five summers, focusing on our corporate and technology transactions practices.

Energy and Climate Solutions

Wilson Sonsini’s Energy & Climate Solutions (ECS) Practice Group is unique in its mission-driven focus on clean energy and climate-friendly projects, technologies, and business models, representing disruptors and innovators and those who finance them. Attorneys in the ECS group pioneered the utility-scale wind and solar industries, helped create residential solar, energy storage, EV charging and carbon removal industries, and are working with project developers, sponsors and investors in across the broad range of clean technologies throughout the United States and abroad.
