Basically exactly as the subject asks, and I did try searching but only found a lot about schools strong in tech law.

Austin (SXSW, etc).
ATL (lot's of B2B and healthtech, emerging startup scene)
NYC (media, finance tech, emerging startup scene like foursquare)
LA (mediatech/spillover from norcal).
SF/SV (the hub, obvi).
Seattle (amazon, msft, etc).
Chicago w/Groupon's emergence creating a startup ecosystem.
Boston (lot's of security tech)
North Carolina (research triangle)
This is in no particular order

SF/SV, Seattle, and Boston for cities where almost every major firm relies on tech clients for their bread and butter.
You can certainly find technology/IP law in other cities like NY, LA, DC (particularly strong for IP), and Chicago, but it will often be a more niche thing. If you're in the general corporate group in these cities, you'll still find yourself working on a lot of non-tech industry deals.
