What the Team is Known For

Wilson Sonsini has a very strong focus on the life sciences sector, with a growing international platform to support global companies looking for specialised industry expertise. Centred largely in the USA, the firm's international work is largely coordinated out of California, with offices in Washington, DC and New York also playing an important role in international antitrust work, while the firm's European offices, particularly Brussels, bring in a transatlantic regulatory capacity.

The law firm's expertise and experience in global IP strategy, patent litigation and data privacy proves a useful resource for technology companies with growing international challenges. The firm is identified as a major player in California with a clear focus on representing Silicon Valley's tech, media and online businesses. It is well equipped to handle corporate work dealing with cross-border mergers within the industry, particularly for investors and US companies targeting foreign entities, as the team includes numerous partners with experience in matters originating in the USA that involve foreign jurisdictions. Outbound work to Asia is a significant factor in the law firm's international work, with clients mentioning that they work with some of the firm's lawyers almost exclusively on matters related to China.
