Curious about differences between some of the bigger firms in the area - WSGR, GDC, MoFo SF, etc. Also, are there substantive differences between SF and SV biglaw? Is it true that SF is very lit heavy and the real tech corp work is in SV? |

2. if you want to do bigtime patent/IP litigation, you should be in SV at one of the big lit firms (edit - from have to should, SF has some good IP lit)
3. the only reason to be in SF (work-wise) is real estate (lol) or general commercial lit (lol) |
