San Francisco
Overview
Crowell opened its San Francisco office in 2009, when a group of established California business trial lawyers joined to expand the firm’s national premier trial practice. Today, our San Francisco office has grown to include regulatory and corporate practitioners, as well as an expanded bench of litigators who have tried cases in a broad sweep of areas. Whether making deals, counseling regarding compliance, or resolving disputes, San Francisco attorneys bring deep experience in areas such as technology, emerging companies and venture capital, white collar and regulatory enforcement, commercial and appellate litigation, antitrust, bankruptcy, corporate, environmental, health care, insurance, intellectual property, privacy and cybersecurity, retail and consumer products, and employment law.

Crowell’s San Francisco office has a strong tradition of serving the community. Since the office opened, we have gathered as a group to donate both food and time in support of the Bay Area branches of the national “Food From The Bar” drive. The office is proud of its efforts to serve those in our community who must turn to the San Francisco-Marin Food Bank and the Alameda County Community Food Bank in the face of a dire threat of hunger.
As lawyers, we represent underserved communities on numerous pro bono matters, including housing, immigration, and child protection. We both support and are involved with organizations such as Legal Aid at Work, Family Violence Law Center, East Bay Community Law Center, Human Rights First, Kids in Need of Defense, Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights of the San Francisco Bay Area, National Immigrant Women’s Advocacy Project, Family Violence Appellate Project, Justice & Diversity Center, and Bar Association of San Francisco. We are a founding member law firm of the San Francisco Bar Association’s Legal Alliance for Reproductive Rights.
Crowell is committed to creating an inclusive work environment that supports the professional growth and development of all of its attorneys and professional staff. In the San Francisco office, this commitment is reflected in the diverse backgrounds and experiences of our team, as well as in our commitment to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in the legal profession and the communities in which we serve. Our attorneys are actively involved in the Asian American Bar Association (AABA) of the Greater Bay Area, National Asian Pacific American Bar, Jewish Bar Association of San Francisco, and participate in a variety of affinity groups.
San Francisco lawyers participate in all of the firm’s minority lawyer affinity groups at Crowell, including the firm’s Black, Asian Pacific Islander, Hispanic or Latinx, and Middle Eastern & North African affinity groups, and we participate and serve in leadership roles in the firm’s Women’s Leadership Initiative for women lawyers.
Throughout the year, our San Francisco office participates in Crowell’s Social Justice Conversations, which are regular discussions focused on better understanding the experiences of marginalized, diverse groups in America. This California initiative has since expanded to several other Crowell offices in the U.S.
