Firm Overview

Hanson Bridgett faces challenges head on. Whether tackling a client’s case, closing a complex deal, or setting a new standard for law firm culture, the firm consistently works toward better solutions. As an AmLaw 200 California-born firm with more than 200 attorneys across the state, it’s simply in the firm's DNA.

Hanson Bridgett is not only the first law firm recognized as a certified B Corp—the firm wrote the legal framework. The firm encourages people to grow and make an impact in meaningful ways, and is committed to developing our distinct culture, delivering excellent service, and leading by example.

The firm's deep capabilities means offering a tailored experience for its clients, people, and communities. Although all Hanson Bridgett's offices are based in California, their membership in the Globalaw, USLAW, and World Services Group networks allows them to provide their clients with legal expertise on the ground across the nation and worldwide.

At Hanson Bridgett, diversity is more than a buzzword or a new trend. It has been a pillar of the firm culture since its founding and their commitment to making the legal profession more diverse and inclusive remains a top priority. The firm is meant to be a reflection of the places that surrounds its communities throughout California. The firm and its clients both benefit greatly from the varied perspectives and backgrounds of the attorneys and professional staff, and strives to create an inclusive environment where its employees feel empowered not only to show up as their authentic selves, but to also speak up and contribute. Mentorship and professional support is provided to attorneys from underrepresented groups not only to illuminate a pathway to career success, but also to equip them with the tools to address unexpected road blocks and the space to build community. This includes providing robust and intentional support of law schools, professional organizations, and bar associations in their own missions to increase diversity, advance careers, and building connections in underrepresented individuals and communities.
