Established in 2000, the Walnut Creek office serves clients throughout the Bay Area with a focus on the emerging life sciences and technology businesses and investors in the East Bay. The office also focuses on work for universities and research institutions in the Bay Area and throughout the U.S. Many lawyers and scientific advisors in the Walnut Creek office bring Ph.D.s and other advanced degrees in the sciences to their legal practices – resulting in counsel that is forged as much through experience in the law as experience in the lab.

Walnut Creek and the East Bay represent a key component of the economy of the Greater Bay Area. Walnut Creek’s proximity to universities and population centers has quietly put this small city on the map as one of the most business friendly cities in California - attracting increasingly large numbers of health care, energy and financial services companies that choose to call Walnut Creek home.
