Cooley Clients Laud Firm's First Year in Los Angeles
(firmenpresse) - LOS ANGELES, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 07/24/13 -- Cooley LLP announced today that its Los Angeles office has celebrated its first anniversary. Last July, the firm established its presence in Santa Monica -- the epicenter of Los Angeles' booming technology, digital media and venture capital sectors -- behind founding partners: David Hernand, Dave Young, Jennifer Massey and Chris Shoff. Since then, the office has added partners Thomas Hopkins and Ian Smith and increased the overall attorney headcount to nearly 20.
During its first year, Cooley has successfully connected investors and entrepreneurs and in the process become one of the driving forces in the creative, digital media and start-up ecosystem that is transforming the Greater Los Angeles region. The successes of Cooley's clients speak volumes to the firm's achievements in its first year on the ground in the dynamic market. Cooley has received numerous messages of support and goodwill from clients in recognition of its inaugural year.
"Cooley isn't just a law firm; they're a startup partnership firm that opens doors, provides off-the-clock feedback and advice and always reminds you that they're here to help you succeed," said RadPad founder Jonathan Eppers.
"The Cooley team is efficient, effective and business oriented. We are pleased to count them as our partners," said Jeff Goldstein, president of PriceGrabber.

"The companies, entrepreneurs and venture backers are as energetic, creative and passionate as we had understood them to be and we are extremely proud of the relationships that we have established in just 12 months. Our strategic plan has been validated to be sure."
