39 business attorneys practise in San Francisco. The city's bar is weighted towards technology and venture-backed companies — formation, founder and equity arrangements, financing rounds, licensing and acquisitions — alongside a full range of general commercial and litigation work.
Two California points recur for employers here: most employee non-compete agreements are unenforceable, and worker classification is governed by a strict statutory test that catches many contractor arrangements imported from other states.
Commercial disputes are heard in the San Francisco Superior Court, which runs a complex litigation programme, with federal matters in the Northern District of California. Ask what stage of company the attorney usually serves — the difference between forming an LLC and negotiating a priced round is substantial.
