About Our San Francisco Office
Wilson Sonsini's main San Francisco office, which is located in the Spear Tower at One Market Street, is the base for a team of Bay Area attorneys that represent clients in corporate transactional, litigation, and regulatory matters.
The office's prime location in the heart of the Financial District helps our San Francisco attorneys stay close to some of the most innovative, game-changing companies, from fintech and clean energy start-ups to market-leading global companies, as well as the private equity and venture capital firms that finance them.
Attorneys in Wilson Sonsini's San Francisco office have represented hundreds of public and private companies in M&A transactions ranging in value from less than $100 million to more than $1 billion. Their experience includes public and private mergers and acquisitions, tender and exchange offers, asset acquisitions and dispositions, leveraged buyouts, management buyouts and other going-private transactions, corporate auctions, proxy contests and other contests for corporate control, and strategic partnering and joint venture arrangements.
Our attorneys also have expertise in IP and complex commercial litigation, including patent, copyright, and trade secret law. They have played leading roles in many of the most prominent corporate control and governance disputes in the Bay Area, and they maintain an active pro bono and public service practice as well.
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.
