SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hopkins & Carley, a preeminent Silicon Valley law firm with offices in Palo Alto, San Francisco, and San Jose, is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2018. Since its founding in 1968, the firm has established itself as a pioneer and leader in the Bay Area.
“For five decades we have been dedicated to supporting the evolution, entrepreneurship, and vibrancy of Silicon Valley,” said Managing Shareholder Jeffrey Essner. “We look forward to continuing to serve the community for many years to come.”
Mayor Sam Liccardo and the San Jose City Council recognized Hopkins & Carley March 20 at the San Jose City Council meeting.
