Fenwick & West LLP

Fenwick focuses on technology and life sciences companies and the investors that support them. Its practice follows businesses through formation, financing, growth, public offerings, and strategic transactions. That industry concentration gives its corporate work a recurring connection to the commercial development of new products, platforms, and scientific research.

The firm's published matters illustrate both the transactional and contentious sides of that focus. It has highlighted work involving Figma's public offering, Wiz's acquisition by Google, and CoreWeave's public offering, alongside patent litigation for Lashify. These examples show a practice that addresses how innovation is funded and commercialized as well as how intellectual property is defended.

For students, Fenwick's defining feature is this combination of sector knowledge and legal work across a company's development. Corporate transactions and intellectual property disputes can involve similar underlying industries while requiring different day-to-day skills. Exploring the firm's individual practices offers a clearer picture of those opportunities than treating technology law as a single category.
