San Diego’s biglaw market is driven by life sciences tech work. There is other stuff too, but if you take a look at the offices of market paying firms in SD, you’ll see how they are largely focused in that area.

On the lit side, because of the proximity to LA, it’s common for LA firms to do a lot of the high profile litigation in SD (at least at the federal level). That’s not to say no SD firms do, though.

Exit opps are great for life sciences work.l
