San Francisco

Located in the heart of the city’s Financial District, the San Francisco office provides broad-ranging legal counsel to regional, national, and international clients whose interests span California and the globe. Our office gives the firm an important presence in the Bay Area and Silicon Valley, serving as a nexus for our work with clients both domestically and internationally.

We understand that every business — whether a traditional manufacturer or a technology startup — operates in a complex, rapidly evolving legal, regulatory, and economic landscape. With deep roots in the Bay Area and a strong national network, our attorneys help clients enter and expand their presence in California’s rapidly growing economy while assisting in their compliance with local, state, and federal laws. Our regulatory, litigation, and transactional teams provide focused solutions for clients in technology, data privacy and security, financial services, energy, insurance, construction development, and other industries of the future.

Our San Francisco office is an integral part of our nationwide financial services litigation practice, working with sales companies, mortgage banking companies and servicers, auto finance companies, insurance companies, banks, and other financial institutions in litigation and regulatory matters. We represent financial services clients in disputes, litigation, and regulatory matters relating to servicing, foreclosure, conduct by brokers and loan originators, and the sale and repurchase of loan portfolios.

Additionally, our San Francisco office has experience in a wide variety of cross-border transactions concerning foreign investment into the U.S. and U.S. investment abroad. Our attorneys perform complex transactions to maximize tax efficiency, limit liability, transfer personnel, and maintain compliance with U.S. and foreign laws. We also have significant insurance experience, including representing aviation companies from North America and Europe, defending against wrongful death, personal injury, and commercial claims in state and federal courts around the country, and assisting clients on a broad range of issues arising out of the regulation of the insurance industry.

We are committed to promoting diversity within the legal profession and work closely with many affinity bar associations. In addition, we provide pro bono legal services to clients and assist with the fundraising efforts of numerous organizations, including Legal Aid at Work, Kids In Need of a Defense, Bay.org, and Meals on Wheels. Firm attorneys also serve on the boards of impactful not-for-profits, and our partners, associates, and business professionals regularly participate in community outreach events.
