Emerging Technology
An entrepreneur’s idea can spark world-changing technology. From the funding of Fairchild Semiconductor in 1959 to Google’s spectacular IPO in 2005, start-up companies and venture capitalists have propelled the development of innovative products and services that have revolutionized the way we live, interact, and do business. O’Melveny offers venture capitalists and entrepreneurs a unique combination of industry experience, international reach, and expertise in the full suite of legal services relevant to emerging companies. Our venture capital attorneys – many of them working out of our Silicon Valley office on Sand Hill Road – understand the potential of new enterprises competing in an increasingly challenging global market. As our clients and their legal needs evolve, we grow with them, drawing on the skills of our lawyers from other practice areas, such as capital markets, mergers and acquisitions, and entertainment, through our offices in New York, Asia, and Europe. For every legal challenge, we provide a solution. From venture financings to day-to-day operations to expansion into international markets to complex exit transactions, O’Melveny’s venture capital practice delivers sophisticated, focused, and efficient representation to companies shaping the business landscape of tomorrow.
