v5 NYC junior associate looking to lateral.
I know that WSGR, Fenwick, Cooley and to a lesser extent Orrick do a lot of the tech/vc/emerging company work in the bay area.
Can anyone speak to any other firms worth considering? Is MoFo's corporate practice on par with any of these firms?

Re: San Francisco Corporate Exit Options
Idk if Mofo is quite the same but I think it's pretty well regarded, so you might as well apply. I would also probably apply to Latham and Goodwin's SV offices. I think those offices, combined, handle a bunch of the corporate legal work in the bay. K&E does a lot too but their corporate practice is very PE focused (esp. the SF office) and I personally wouldn't want to end up there. Gunderson would be a good idea too if you're interested at all in startup/VC work.

Re: San Francisco Corporate Exit Options
I mean you hit the nail on the head.
WSGR/Cooley/Fenwick/Gunderson - the "native" firms are generally good for that sort of work. Latham and Goodwin are the 2 notable non-native firms that have made really strong in-roads as well.
The other major NYC firms (Skadden/DPW/STB/Weil) pretty much avoid that sort of work for the most part - although they'll still often have some big-name tech companies amongst their client lists.
