That industry mix creates work involving both the development of a business and the legal environment in which it operates. A technology company may need investment and commercial advice, while an infrastructure or healthcare project can add substantial regulatory requirements. Pillsbury describes using teams across legal disciplines to address those connected needs.
For students, the firm's sector orientation is a useful starting point for choosing which practices to investigate. Interest in a particular industry can lead toward transactions, regulation, or disputes, with different day-to-day responsibilities. The firm's published service materials connect those legal paths to the businesses and investors they support.
