Law360 Names Cooley Practice Group of the Year for Tech
Palo Alto – January 14, 2020 – Law360 has recognized Cooley’s technology practice as one of its Practice Groups of the Year. In another robust year for the firm, Cooley advised clients on some of the highest-profile corporate transactions and complex litigation matters in 2019.
Law360’s Practice Group of the Year awards honor the law firms behind major deals and litigation wins that resonated throughout the legal industry in the past year. This year’s winning practice groups rose to the top of more than 700 submissions.
“Partnering with our cutting-edge technology clients, from industry disrupters to established powerhouses, allows us to empower and defend innovation that helps drive the economy and contribute to job creation,” said Mike Lincoln, chair of Cooley’s global business department. “It is extremely gratifying to be recognized for our cross-department capabilities advising the best of the best in tech.”
