Technology Sector (International & Cross-Border) - USA
What the Team is Known For
Technology companies and investment portfolios focused on the industry represent a significant portion of the firm's clients, and the team, spread across its US offices, is highlighted for its impressive understanding of the technical details and customs of the sector. The law firm's international activity sees it advising on global transactions and acquisitions, consolidation of cross-border IT and application services and outsourcing deals. It is also involved with the developing fintech sector. The team represents a mixture of US-centred clients and foreign entities, with recent matters seeing the US team doing IP and transactional work on cross-border issues involving Japan, Korea and China.
Perkins Coie is identified as an international law firm with a strong US foundation. It has offices across the USA, covering numerous East and West Coast hubs, with teams based across California and in New York and Chicago endorsed for having strong client service and industry expertise that can be scaled to apply to a range of international work. The law firm's global strategy has also incorporated a strong focus on Asia as a region and it has developed this by opening offices in China and Taiwan, which have worked in tandem with the US team on several recent projects.
