I don't know of any firms with all three.. sometimes PA/Menlo Park and also SF. It's a pain to get into the city from the South Bay, so fair enough to have an office that you can drive to

like

No such thing. Either MP/PA and SF. Historically, more lit in SF and more tech in SV. No longer the case, but the commute is brutal. SF partners can live in Marin but rare for SV ones to do so.

Yes, mostly transactional/tech work in the MP/PA to cater to Silicon Valley, and litigation and other kinds of transactional work in SF
