Palo Alto – May 26, 2015 – For the second year in a row, Cooley was named a California Powerhouse by Law360. For 2015, Law360 honored 15 firms "that have stood out for their sizable footprint in the Golden State and their significant regional accomplishments over the last year."

"In 1959, Cooley LLP helped form pioneering chip company National Semiconductor Corp., one of the original companies that gave Silicon Valley its name," Law360 highlighted. "More than 50 years later, the Palo Alto-based firm continues to be a leader in technology-related matters while carving out a considerable niche in finance and high-stakes litigation."

The publication noted Cooley's impressive track record of success, including handling a "staggering 50 initial public offerings and nearly 200 mergers and acquisitions deals in 2014 while providing litigation counsel to high-profile clients such as Google, Facebook and Gilead."

Cooley has also been the frontrunner in the venture capital industry, counseling managers on more venture funds than any other law firm since the industry began in the US. In 2014, Cooley ranked as the number one firm in the formation of venture funds.
