One of the youngest and most vibrant tech and life sciences hubs in the country, Salt Lake City combines startup energy and investment potential with glorious natural beauty, industry depth, and exciting opportunities for your legal career.
Welcome to Silicon Slopes, the not-so-fledgling tech, life sciences, and startup hub based in Salt Lake City. With more than $19 billion at play (and growing) and leading academic institutions feeding the innovation ecosystem, Utah has become a prime destination in the tech and life sciences space. Which is why Wilson Sonsini opened our newest office there in late 2021.
With strong relationships in the thriving community of technology and life sciences companies, entrepreneurs, and venture capital firms here, we already represent more than 250 clients headquartered in Utah.
Our corporate attorneys have advised more venture capital firms on Utah-related deals and more Utah-based issuers on IPOs than any other firm since 2016, ranking first in each category by a substantial margin. The firm ranks fourth among law firms in advising on Utah-related mergers and acquisitions in the same period.
To complement our bustling corporate, transactions, and IP/patent strategy work here, we have bolstered the litigation side with several prominent hires, including two former Utah Supreme Court justices.
Though it’s one of our newest offices, our summer program here includes two to five summer associates primarily working with our corporate and complex litigation practices.

Help protect the firm and our clients’ most sensitive information by owning two high-impact security programs: vulnerability management and privileged access. You’ll decide what really needs fixing first, lock down who holds the keys to our most critical systems, and partner with IT teams to close the gaps. Your work will directly shape how leadership, clients, and auditors see the firm’s security posture, and you’ll see the results of your efforts.
Every patent deadline is a promise to a client, and the Patent Docketing Specialist is the person who makes sure we keep it. Join our IP docketing team to manage the firm’s patent docket, work alongside attorneys and staff, and keep filings moving smoothly across the U.S. and abroad. This is a fully remote role for someone who loves precision and takes pride in never missing a date.
Microsoft 365 is where our attorneys and staff do their work every day, and you’ll be the one keeping it secure, reliable, and ready for what’s next. As Senior Microsoft 365 Administrator, you’ll lead key migrations and partner with teams across IT to support the people who support our clients. If you like owning a complex environment and solving problems before anyone notices them, we’d love to meet you.
The Director of Support Services owns end-user support services for the firm, with direct accountability for the outsourced Service Desk, deskside support technicians across the firm's 17 offices, the Technical Training group, and technical communications.
