Just minutes from a beautiful stretch of coastline in Southern California—Torrey Pines State Reserve—our San Diego office is ideal for those who want to work with companies that are exploring new frontiers in the life sciences and technology industries.
San Diego is a great destination if you are interested in representing clients in the life science and technology industries that are developing and commercializing innovative and cutting edge therapies, devices and other technology.
Our San Diego team works closely with growing and established life sciences, pharmaceutical, and technology companies on corporate, patent, technology transactions and litigation matters at all stages of companies’ business life cycle, and we represent leading venture capital and other financial institutions who fund these companies.
With one of the largest and most sophisticated life sciences patent teams in Southern California, we handle the full range of patent counseling and litigation. Our team of recognized patent experts helps build new business models for pioneering life science and technology companies, consults on patent strategies, handles patent litigation, and helps secure technology licensing from universities and other institutions.
From facilitating startup corporate formation to venture capital and other financing to strategic partnerships and IPOs and public company representation, you will have the opportunity to be part of the full business life cycle in the life sciences and technology industries.
And the team is eager to meet you. Our San Diego office is a great location for summer associates: we typically hire four to eight each year, focusing on our corporate, patents and patent litigation, and biotech transactions practices.
