I know that SF is king in this space, but I have heard that LA has established itself as a strong region for this type of work in recent years.
Can anyone help a potential lateral get a feel for what firms do this and the pecking order of these firms in the LA area?

Just did a deal opposite Cooley LA in this space. Their associates seemed to be well versed.

Cooley is obviously a big player in NorCal, I assume this has helped their relatively new LA office establish itself.

I'm an associate at WSGR, and I don't think our LA office is a major player at all. Our SD office is pretty big, but that's mainly with biotech companies. I'm honestly not sure what LA area firms do a lot in this space. Maybe Sheppard Mullin or Straddling Yocca?
