In California, Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth is synonymous with tech and emerging growth. Since its founding in 1975, our firm has been intrinsic to the development of the high-tech industries that are leading the way in Southern California and the world.

Our attorneys are intimately familiar with the legal issues faced by tech firms, in areas such as research and development, protection and licensing of intellectual property, regulatory compliance, global sourcing, and international tax issues. But our greatest contribution is probably in our ability to structure and assist in securing a wide variety of financing options for tech and emerging growth firms, including seed and angel investments, later-round and mezzanine investments, initial public offerings, and secured and unsecured debt financings. In addition, we have extensive experience in drafting licensing deals, joint ventures and strategic alliances, and we have a premier mergers and acquisitions practice. 

Of course, we also bring to our tech clients our 30-plus years of experience and expertise across all business sectors and industry groups: contracts, employment, real estate, and vast financial expertise. All of these are backed by a team of highly experienced litigators with expertise in contract disputes, shareholder suits, antitrust actions, intellectual property disputes, employment and workplace suits, product liability matters, environmental and hazardous waste issues, and real property and construction claims.
