San Francisco Mid Law (Corporate) Forum

[Anonymous User]

Relatively junior NYC associate looking to lateral to San Francisco.

I want to cast a wide net and I would definitely be interested in mid law shops that pay close to market and have strong corporate practices.

Can anyone recommend some firms for me to look at?

I'm not sure what any of these firms pay, but here's a list of corporate boutiques and midlaw firms that do good work:

Venture Law Group
White Summers
Carr & Ferrell
Hoge Fenton
Hopkins & Carley (more tax-focused)

Also don't know what these shops pay but would add:

Hanson Bridgett
Nossaman

And also Gunderson Dettmer is big out here. Just because I've been surprised how overlooked they can be on the east coast.

If we're adding boutiques on the early-stage side:

Silicon Legal Strategy

Hanson paid $120k for first years when I was looking 2 years ago.
