Big Firms in Silicon Valley

Silicon Valley offices—by the numbers.

By the Numbers

For the first time California Lawyer asked law firms to report on their Silicon Valley (SV) offices for our annual California 50 survey. The results suggest a slightly more ethnically diverse law firm culture, where the number of attorneys per office tends to be low and the ratio of associates to partners high, compared with statewide numbers.

20: Percentage of lawyers at those firms who work in the SV offices

53: Average number of lawyers staffing a California 50 firm's SV office
