Technology Sector (International & Cross-Border) - USA
What the team is known for
Cooley is a fast-growing international firm oriented towards life sciences and technology clients and particularly those with businesses crossing the boundaries between the two. The firm is frequently chosen for its transatlantic capability, and its offices in the USA and UK are typically used as coordinating hubs to quarterback global work. The firm has experienced a booming cross-border transactional practice due to its popularity with fast-growing companies within its sector focus, and also offers a quickly developing regulatory capability focused on international data privacy.
US-based lawyers across the firm's offices in Boston, Washington, DC and several major cities in California are a significant driving force for the firm's global technology work. The law firm's strength lies particularly in cross-border investments into tech companies, covering both inbound and outbound deals related to the USA. It frequently represents venture capital and private equity funds in international transactions as well as IP and privacy work and has a strong focus on young companies and startups. Recent work has seen the firm advise on issues involving China, India, Israel and Brazil.
