Fifty years ago, the San Francisco Peninsula was home to over ten million fruit trees. Today, it’s the world-famous Silicon Valley, headquarters of technology giants like HP, Apple, Intel, Oracle, Sun Microsystems, Google, Yahoo and many hundreds more. But the Peninsula and Palo Alto still retain the beauty and charm of their pre-tech days. Palo Alto is a small and very sophisticated place with a lively downtown, expansive parklands, a rich cultural scene and the intellectual stimulation of one of the world’s great universities – Stanford.
Founded in the Bay Area like so many of its high-tech clients, MLA has kept pace with the evolving local economy and also grown into a global firm. Our Palo Alto office places lawyers who offer a full range of specialties including those especially sought after in the Bay Area – intellectual property, licensing, mergers and acquisitions and financial services.
Global in scope but still personal and approachable. That’s Palo Alto and MLA.
