What do you want to know about it? I work at one of the main firms in the space (C/W/F/G), you’ll likely do a bit of everything, including (1) being counsel to startups in everything from day to day legal matters to deals (venture financings, M&A, eventual IPOs), (2) representing VCs on venture financings, (3) capital markets work (both issuer side and underwriter side, usually equity - i.e., IPO or follow-on offering or ATM) or (4) M&A. Things can get really busy, but I think the nature of being at a Silicon Valley based firm that primarily works with venture backed startups or “hip” public tech companies is that there is a real importance placed on culture - there are readily available exit options in the space (lot of in house roles) and it’s actually not super easy to find laterals that don’t need to be retrained so firms really do have to try their hardest to keep associates happy and firm culture free of screamers and shit like that

Considering the same so following !
This is a really great summary, thanks so much. I’m doing transactional tax work now and would like to retool to be closer to the actual businesses I’m providing services too. I’m also not inspired enough by the practice to deal with the complexity and constant changes in the law anymore. I’m keeping an M&A associate schedule but also having to engage with the tax code. How would you suggest I begin exploring this further? Also, what is CWFG?
I definitely could try- I didn’t realize we had an opening there actually.
Also, any sense of how EC/VC work compares to fund formation?
Someone told me it's the "poor man's funds attorney" but correct me if i'm wrong
Perkins Coie is looking for ECVC, so try applying there. They may be open to retooling, and it’s a nice place to work. Just got ranked #1 in Best Places to Work for the Bay Area. Try it.
Awesome. Definitely will do!
